All human rights are at risk, including the rights to life, food, privacy, health and security, due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker T\u00fcrk warned Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe current race toward increasingly powerful AI represents a qualitative leap toward greater existential risks for every aspect of our lives,\u201d T\u00fcrk said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His warning comes after employees in the technology sector called for the development of AI to be slowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u00fcrk also raised concerns about agentic AI, which goes beyond conventional systems and can make decisions on its own. He warned that failures in these systems could potentially paralyze essential services, disrupt communications, destabilize critical infrastructure and affect democratic institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
