AI leaders warn UN Security Council of advanced AI risks

Leading AI executives, including OpenAI's Sam Altman, warned the UN Security Council that advanced artificial intelligence systems pose significant security risks requiring urgent global oversight. Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei addressed the council, calling for "extreme care" and international cooperation to manage potential dangers from powerful AI, such as misuse or loss of control. The meeting highlighted divergent concerns, from autonomous weapons to "superintelligence," as leaders urged the UN to establish safeguards before systems outpace regulatory efforts.
