New York: 'AI is indeed a game changer,' says António Guterres

During the opening of the UN General Assembly debate on September 22, 2026, António Guterres warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence, stating that it is indeed a game changer. He noted that while AI has the potential to transform fields like medicine, it also represents a power that governments struggle to regulate. Guterres discussed the emergence of new centers of influence and the concentration of power among a few private companies and individuals during his decade at the helm of the UN.
