SAO PAULO, 14 Sep: Group of 20 leaders agreed Friday to join efforts to fight disinformation and set up an agenda on artificial intelligence as their governments struggle against the speed, scale and reach of misinformation and hate speech.
\nThe ministers, who gathered this week in Maceio, the capital of the northeastern state of Alagoas, emphasized in a statement the need for digital platforms to be transparent and \u201cin line with relevant policies and applicable legal frameworks.\u201d
\nIt is the first time in the G20\u2019s history that the group recognizes the problem of disinformation and calls for transparency and accountability from digital platforms, Jo\u00e3o Brant, secretary for digital policy at the Brazilian presidency, told The Associated Press by phone.
\nG20 representatives also agreed to establish guidelines for developing artificial intelligence, calling for \u201cethical, transparent, and accountable use of AI,\u201d with human oversight and compliance with privacy and human rights laws.
\n\u201cWe hope this will be referenced in the leaders\u2019 declaration and that South Africa will continue the work,\u201d Renata Mielli, adviser to Brazil\u2019s ministry of science, technology and innovation, said. The G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit is scheduled for November, in Rio de Janeiro.
\nMielli, Brazil\u2019s negotiator in the AI working group, said there were disagreements from countries including China and the United States, but declined to provide details. In the end, she said, a consensus prevailed that the world\u2019s richest countries should collaborate to reduce global asymmetry in AI development.
\nThis week\u2019s meeting took place in the aftermath of X\u2019s ban in Brazil, ordered by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes after a monthslong feud with its owner, tech billionaire Elon Musk.
\nSince last year, X has clashed with de Moraes over its reluctance to block some users, mostly far-right activists accused of undermining Brazilian democracy. Musk has called the Brazilian justice a dictator and an autocrat due to his rulings affecting his companies in Brazil. (AP)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
