"Today I’m also pleased to announce a new $15 million commitment by the United States to help more governments leverage the power of AI to drive global good, focused specifically on Sustainable Development Goals," Blinken stated at an event on AI progress.
The Sustainable Development Goals, created as part of the UN’s 2030 Agenda, include eliminating hunger, providing education and reducing inequalities around the world.
The global community must gather a wide range of entities, including developing countries, to discuss the risks and benefits of AI, Blinken said.
Despite the risks associated with AI, it also provides "almost endless" opportunities, Blinken added.
