A first UN Security Council meeting on the potential threats of artificial intelligence (AI) to international security will be the centrepiece of the UK’s presidency this month.

The July 18 meeting will include briefings by international AI experts and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who last month called the alarm bells over the most advanced form of AI “deafening”, and loudest from its developers.
