The United Nations Security Council held its first meeting on artificial intelligence on Tuesday where China said the technology should not become a "runaway horse.”

The United States warned against its use to censor or repress people.

Britain's Foreign Secretary James Cleverly warned that the technology fuels disinformation and could aid both state and non-state actors in a quest for weapons.

Russia questioned whether the council, which is charged with maintaining international peace and security, should be discussing AI.
