AI Executives Urge U.N. to Regulate Artificial Intelligence

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified before the U.N. Security Council Wednesday, urging global regulation of artificial intelligence and warning that mismanaged AI could threaten humanity as a whole. Altman outlined two major risks: humanity losing control of fast-moving AI systems, and AI concentrating power among a small elite. He argued no single person, company, or country should impose its worldview through powerful AI models. President Donald Trump opposes such regulation, championing U.S. dominance through a $500 billion Stargate venture and personal stock investments in major tech firms. However, 75 percent of Americans oppose local data center development, and experts increasingly treat "killer robots" as a realistic threat.
