UN High Commissioner Volker Türk warned member states on Monday about the dangers to which all human rights are exposed due to the advancement of AI.

Türk stated in a press release that “all human rights are at risk, including the rights to life, food, privacy, health, and security,” referring to agentic AI, “which goes beyond conventional AI and can make its own decisions.”

Failures in this technology could cause disasters such as the paralysis of essential services, communication outages, and the destabilization of critical infrastructure, “striking at the very heart of democratic institutions.”

According to the official, control of AI should not rest in the hands of a single country or company. The High Commissioner insisted that the current challenge is how to match the pace of effective governance of this technology with the pace of its rapid development. Therefore, urgent measures are needed to prevent behaviors that jeopardize human rights, requiring a collaborative approach among all countries, as well as a code of conduct for AI models.

The High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations, Volker Türk, expressed this Tuesday his concern about the increase in tension in Venezuela after the presidential elections that took place in the country on Sunday, July 28.

In a statement from the organization, Türk indicated: “Demonstrations have occurred in at least 17 of Venezuela’s 24 states, including the capital, and hundreds of people have been detained, including children.”

He also referred to the protesters on Monday, July 29, who were injured by what he considers the excessive use of force by the forces of public order but also by armed individuals affiliated with the ruling party known as “collectives.”

He described the situation in the country as a “critical situation” and “urged the authorities to respect the right of all Venezuelans to peacefully assemble and protest and express their opinions freely and without fear.”
