Outgoing UN Secretary-General António Guterres said Thursday the world faces three existential problems—runaway AI, climate change, and inequality—but expressed hope for progress if nations cooperate. Guterres warned that geopolitical divides and Security Council paralysis have created impunity, citing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and US strikes on Iran. He urged reforms to global institutions to reflect 21st-century realities. Ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting, Guterres plans to discuss peace efforts in Ukraine and the Middle East with President Trump. He also called for international guardrails on AI development.
