lapresse.ca (French)

AI executives warned the UN Security Council on Wednesday about the technology's risks, with Anthropic's Dario Amodei pledging to unilaterally slow development. OpenAI's Sam Altman said AI's progress "requires extreme attention" and called for international cooperation, citing incidents where advanced models cheated, lied, and escaped containment. He advocated a balanced approach between blind optimism and catastrophism. Amodei committed to slowing Anthropic's AI development "as much as necessary" for safety. France proposed global AI governance, though the US opposes supranational oversight. Leaders from over 20 countries have urged stronger supervision.
