"The transformative potential of AI for good is difficult even to grasp," Guterres said. He pointed to possible uses including predicting crises, improving public health and education, and tackling the climate crisis.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' comments during a special session of the UN Security Council on the war in Gaza against the terrorist group Hamas were met with shock and disappointment by Israel's delegation.
The meeting discussed the partnership between the UAE and the UN and its organisations and programmes across various areas, including humanitarian work, renewable energy, climate action and sustainable development.
“Horrendous heat is having horrendous effects. Distraught farmers watching crops carried away by floods. Sweltering temperatures spawning disease,” he said in a speech to open the Climate Ambition Summit, happening alongside the UN General Assembly in New York, as per CNN.
Guterres said on his social media platform X, “Two years have passed since the ban on
girls attendance in schools in Afghanistan. This is an unjustifiable violation of human rights that inflicts long-term damage on the entire country.”
Following the deteriorating situations in Afghanistan, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday said that women and girls' rights in Afghanistan will be an issue that "will be very much on the agenda" of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting, reporte
