5분 46초 (588 words)
Increasingly, we're seeing across the board technology at the forefront of our diplomacy and our foreign policy. And the revolutions that all of us are experiencing in our daily lives and in our non-work lives, of course, are having a profound impact on our work lives, and they're also at the heart of the strategic competition that we're engaged in, at the heart of strengthening and deepening our alliances and partnerships. We can see extraordinary potential, extraordinary benefit, and we'll talk in a few minutes about how we're actually beginning to realize that. At the same time, we all know, you all are deeply conscious of the challenges, the threats, the danger that technology can pose. We know that for the most part, and we'll see AI may be different, Technology is amoral, not immoral. It depends how you use it. But we have to be deeply conscious of that as we move forward. But the possibilities are extraordinary.
We had a session at the UN General Assembly last fall where we brought together technologists in countries around the world to look at how AI could be used to accelerate the sustainable development goals, which are for the most part stalled. And what's interesting to me is as I travel around the world, The places where I find the most enthusiasm for artificial intelligence technology more broadly actually is in the global majority countries in the developing world because they see a way of accelerating, getting out of neutral on some of the big objectives that they've set for their societies and that we need to help them realize. But the moment we're in is critical because in so many ways the choices that we make now will define how technology is used, how it's deployed, and to what effect for a long time into the future.
And that's why we have this intense focus on artificial intelligence, other technologies that are going to be shaping that future. We have to make generational investments and generational decisions here at home, including in our technological competitiveness. That's essential to making sure that we remain the standard-setters, the rulemakers around the world. Working with partners to direct technology to more stable, secure, healthy societies, that's also critical, and it has to animate the diplomacy that so many of you are engaged in. We have the President's leadership on this, including his executive order on AI. We have the International Cyber and Digital Strategy. All of this together These are foundational elements for the work that we are and have to do. So let me just talk a little bit quickly about the state of state in AI.
In 2021, we put forward our modernization agenda. And a big part of that, as you look at it, is making sure that we're working with, using, integrating technology in the work that we're doing. Some of this entails experimentation, some of it entails risk, but if we're not leaning in, we're going to be left out and left behind. Last fall, we released the Enterprise AI Strategy, a roadmap to harness AI's benefits to advance our foreign policy and to strengthen this institution. And as I said, if you look around the federal government, I'm happy to report that this department is leading the way. And indeed, other agencies and departments are looking to the work that we've been doing. Now, I think there are two major reasons why we want to focus on AI and its use here in the department.
