Securing a future for humanity and the planet in times of “AI” : the need for an International Data-Based Systems Agency (IDA) at the UN

Kirchschläger, Peter G. (author)

In 2024, the UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution aiming for “safe, secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence systems” and the “Pact for the Future” including a “Global Digital Compact” and a “Declaration on Future Generations”. It is now urgent to implement and build on the UN General Assembly resolution and the “Pact for the Future”. This article suggests that an International Data-BasedSystems Agency (IDA) needs to be established urgently at the UN as a global plat-form for technical cooperation in the field of data-based systems (DS) fostering human rights, safety, security, a rules-based international order, sustainability, and peaceful uses of data-based systems (DS) with a multilateral approach, as well as a global supervisory and monitoring institution and regulatory authority in the area of data-based systems (DS) responsible for access to market approval.

Abstract

Leta 2024 je Generalna skupščina Združenih narodov sprejela resolucijo,katere cilj so »varni, zanesljivi in zaupanja vredni sistemi umetne inteligence« ter »Pakt za prihodnost«, ki vključuje »Globalni digitalni dogovor« in »Deklaracijo o prihodnjih generacijah«. Zdaj je nujno, da se resolucija Generalne skupščine Združenih narodov in »Pakt za prihodnost« izvajata in nadgradita. V prispevku predlagamo, da je treba v okviru ZN nujno ustanoviti Mednarodno agencijo za podatkovne sisteme (MAPS) kot globalno platformo za tehnično sodelovanje na področju podatkovnih sistemov (PS). Slednja naj krepi človekove pravice, varnost, zaščito, mednarodni pravni red, ki temelji na pravilih, trajnosti in miroljubni rabi sistemov na podlagi podatkov (PS) z večstranskim pristopom, pa tudi globalne nadzorne in spremljevalne institucije ter regulativne organe na področju podat-kovnih sistemov (PS), odgovorne za dostop do tržne odobritve.
