Professor Yoshua Bengio, member of the Secretary-General¡¯s Scientific Advisory Board and co-chair of the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, briefed Secretary-General Ant¨®nio Guterres on the urgent need for global governance mechanisms to address AI deception. The discussion focused on the UN Scientific Advisory Board¡¯s latest Science Brief, led by Prof. Bengio, which examines how advanced AI systems may mislead people or other systems about what they know, intend, or can do. The briefing was followed by a reception hosted by H.E. Ambassador Hon. David Lametti and the Permanent Mission of Canada to the Â鶹APP, with opening remarks by H.E. Ambassador Egriselda L¨®pez, Permanent Representative of El Salvador to the Â鶹APP.

AI deception is not merely a technical error or hallucination, but an emerging governance challenge requiring early, coordinated international safeguards as AI systems become increasingly capable.
