The following report is a speech by the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres’ message for the International Day of Democracy, observed on September 15th:
The International Day of Democracy is an opportunity to reinforce the importance of upholding free speech, civil liberties and the rule of law; ensuring accountable institutions; and protecting and promoting human rights.
This is especially crucial in a year where more than 50 countries — representing half of the global population — are holding elections.
Yet, these rights and values are under attack around the world. Freedoms are being eroded. Civic space is diminishing. Polarization is intensifying. And mistrust is growing.
This year’s Democracy Day focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for good governance.
Left unchecked, the dangers posed by artificial intelligence could have serious implications for democracy, peace and stability. This can start with the proliferation of mis- and disinformation, the spread of hate speech and the use of so-called deepfakes.
Yet, AI has the potential to promote and enhance full and active public participation, equality, security and human development. It can boost education on democratic processes, and shape more inclusive civic spaces where people have a say in decisions and can hold decision-makers to account.
To seize these opportunities, it is critical to ensure effective governance of AI at all levels, including internationally.
The inclusive and geographically diverse High-level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence has released a report with recommendations on how to harness the benefits of AI while mitigating the risks.
The message is clear: AI must serve humanity equitably and safely.
This month’s Summit of the Future offers a crucial opportunity to strengthen international cooperation, build trust, and safeguard current and future generations.
On this International Day of Democracy, let’s keep working to build a more inclusive, just and equal world.

Proverbs 26:7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

"AI must serve humanity equitably and safely." <—–not the true intent.
"On this International Day of Democracy, let’s keep working to build a more inclusive, just and equal world." <—–why don't you just crawl back under the rock you crawled out from – how about that?
THERE IS NO AI. ITS A PROGRAM THAT ACCESSES “CHOSEN” DATA TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WITH A TYPICAL VOICE MAIL TYPE VOICE. NO BIG DEAL. AI IS NOT AI BECAUSE IT IS NOT INDEPENDENT. ITS THE AGENDA AND THINKING OF ITS PROGRAMMERS AND WHOEVER PAYS THEM. IT NEVER WILL EXIST IN A WORLD WHERE AGENDA IS THE NORM AND AN EVIL ONE AT THAT,. MAYBE IN THE WORLD OF STAR TREK IT COULD BE REAL BUT WITH HUMANS AT THE PROGRAMMING DESK, IT WILL NEVER EVER HAPPEN AND WILL ONLY GET WORSE AND WORSE. I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AND I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH MODERN CARS EVEN GAS POWERED ONES BECAUSE YOU DON;T REALLY OWN THEM ANYMORE. THEY ARE ROLLING SPY BOXES SENDING ALL SORTS OF DATA TO THE MASTERS WHO ARE AT THE RECEIVING END OF THE INFORMATION BUILDING DOSSIERS ON ANYONE STUPID ENOUGH TO DRIVE ONE OLD CARS ARE THE WAY TO GO
WHERE DO THESE FREAKS COME FROM? WHAT HELL HOLE DO THEY CRAWL OUT OF. WHERE ARE THEY SPAWNED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT “BORN” LIKE THE REST OF US. ARE THEY LAB CREATIONS. THEY CANNOT WIN THIS EVEN IF THEY DESTROY IT ALL. ONLY SATANISTS THINK LIKE THIS AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE ALL WESTERN GOVERNMENTS SAVE HUNGARY ARE FREEMASONS AND WORK IN UNISON, THEY ALL DO THEIR WICKEDNESS AT THE SAME TIME IN LOCKSTEP. THE EVIL IS JUST OFF THE CHARTS. WHAT A SICK, SICK WORLD WE LIVE IN. GLAD I WAS NOT BORN TODAY AND I HOPE REINCARNATION IS A MENTAL EXERCISE FOR THOSE AFRAID OF DEATH AND IS NOT TRUE. I DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO HELL UNLESS I CAN SEE THESE CREATURES GET WHAT THEY DESERVE, PUBLIC HANGINGS WHICH ARE TOO HUMANE GIVEN THE CARNAGE THEY CREATE AND ENJOY. I AM VENTING HERE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE ARE ALL DIVIDED BY DESIGN AND THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE WAY TO REPAIR THAT DAMAGE.
