Omran Sharaf, who is the Assistant Foreign Minister for Advanced Science and Technology in the UAE, took part in the Global Conference on AI, Security, and Ethics. He joined Robin Geiss, the Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), in an important discussion about artificial intelligence (AI) and its effects on global security.

At the conference, experts talked about how AI is growing quickly, how it affects national and global safety, and the challenges that come with new technologies. Omran Sharaf shared some important thoughts during his speech. He pointed out that more and more non-state groups (people or organizations that aren't part of a government) now have access to powerful technologies. This makes it even more important for countries to work together. He said countries must share knowledge responsibly and create strong rules to protect peace and security around the world.

As the world continues to talk about AI, security, and ethics, the UAE is leading the way in promoting responsible use of technology. The UAE is working to make sure that AI is developed in a way that benefits everyone while also being used ethically. Omran Sharaf stressed that it is important for countries to work together to make sure the use of AI supports shared values, like peace, safety, and prosperity.

Jamal Al Musharakh, who is the UAE's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, also spoke at the conference. He said that the UAE believes countries should cooperate within the United Nations system to make sure AI is used for the common good. He added that AI should help promote peace and protect the values that bring everyone together.

The Global Conference on AI, Security, and Ethics is held every year by UNIDIR. It brings together diplomats, military experts, people from the tech industry, academics, and civil society groups to talk about the challenges and opportunities AI presents for global safety and stability.
