This revolution started with the first computers in the 1940s. Communication satellites followed in the 1960s. Since the 1970s, the Internet has become the main infrastructure of the information age. The Internet triggered the development of the digital economy and social networks. And all this paved the way for today\u00b4s AI Hype.<\/p>\n<p>Like all technological revolutions, it needed some time to recognize and understand the social and political implications. The second industrial revolution, which began at the end of the 19th century, not only created new opportunities, but it also sparked political conflicts, including two world wars. Insofar as we should not be surprised to see similar ruptures in today\u00b4s political landscape. The information revolution and AI are changing everything: from our way of life to the nature of war.<\/p>\n<p>The new opportunities will also lead to new conflicts within and between countries. Are we prepared to handle these new challenges? Do we have the institutional frameworks to deal with these new conflicts? And do we have the political leaders who understand the nature and the risks of this unstoppable information revolution?<\/p>\n<h4>The UN as the most universal political platform<\/h4>\n<p>AI is a universal problem. With all its weaknesses, the United Nations is the most universal political body we have. In other words, the UN would be the natural venue for discussing global policies and addressing AI challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with questions arising from the information revolution is not new to the UN. But the history of \u201cUN Information Summits\u201d shows mixed results. There are failures and successes.<\/p>\n<p>Already during the 1st UN General Assembly in 1946, information issues, and here in particular the right to freedom of expression, were the subject of negotiations.
