AI leaders to address UN Security Council as Trump backs AI growth
cnbc.com —
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei are expected to address the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday about artificial intelligence, a U.N. spokesperson confirmed, as President Donald Trump pledged U.S. support for AI development. The meeting, first reported by Bloomberg, will also include Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue and Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the U.N.'s AI scientific panel. It comes amid heightened safety concerns after recent incidents where AI models hacked external systems. Trump, addressing the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, dismissed AI risk warnings as a "hoax" and vowed not to stifle growth, contrasting with calls from Altman and Amodei to pace advanced model development.
