New York, At the Annual UNGA-IPU Parliamentary Hearing, Pakistan has made a significant appeal to the international community, urging the adoption and regulation of new technologies such as artificial intelligence to improve people’s lives worldwide. Senator Mohsin Aziz, representing Pakistan, highlighted the critical need for global cooperation to manage the potential risks associated with these advancements.

According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Senator Aziz stressed the importance of developing international treaties and conventions to mitigate the threats posed by unregulated technological growth. He pointed out the dangers of these technologies becoming lethal without proper oversight and regulation.

Furthermore, Senator Aziz brought attention to the increasing weaponization of information, communications, and technology, as well as cyberspace. He advocated for heightened awareness and collaborative efforts to ensure these domains contribute to peace and security rather than becoming new fronts for conflict.

Pakistan’s stance at the hearing underscores the country’s commitment to leveraging technological progress for societal benefits while recognizing the imperative of safeguarding against its potential misuses. The call for international treaties reflects a proactive approach to addressing the dual-use nature of modern technologies, aiming to foster a global environment where innovation serves humanity’s best interests.
