UN chief warns world's cracks have become abysses, urges AI limits

UN Secretary-General Guterres, in his annual address to the General Assembly, framed current global divisions as existential, citing wars and the unchecked rise of AI, specifically rejecting 'killer robots.' The speech signals a diplomatic push for AI governance and renewed multilateralism, though it lacks concrete policy proposals. This is consistent with his prior warnings, but the rhetorical escalation to 'abysses' underscores heightened concern.
