Altman and Amodei brief the UN Security Council
The UN Security Council is hearing from industry leaders amid warnings that AI could improve itself and slip beyond human control.
Who is speaking
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Hugging Face co-founder Clément Delangue are briefing the 15-member Security Council. Altman is expected to propose shared benchmarks for measuring AI capabilities and judging the safeguards companies put in place.
What Guterres asked for
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opened the Assembly by calling for more AI oversight. He asked leaders to set the conditions for responsible pacing of AI and to work toward a multilateral risk framework with credible, independent oversight.
The split
More than 20 mostly European countries called for binding safety measures. The two AI superpowers, the United States and China, did not endorse the idea.
