UN science agency proposes strict ethical guidelines as race for artificial intelligence dominance intensifies

Gabriela Ramos, assistant director-general for social and human sciences at Unesco, told Research Professional News that there were “thousands of examples” of harm from AI caused by a lack of ethical considerations, such as severe gender bias.
