Oslo | The head of the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund has called on governments to speed up the regulation of artificial intelligence as it revealed it would set guidelines for how the 9000 companies it invests in should use AI “ethically”.

Nicolai Tangen, chief executive of Norway’s $US1.4 trillion ($2.1 trillion) oil fund – which owns on average 1.5 per cent of every listed company globally – said he believed that there is not enough regulation of the fast-growing sector and that he wanted new rules to govern how AI is used.
