Altman urges UN cooperation on AI after Trump rejects controls

cnbc.com

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged the UN Security Council on Wednesday to coordinate internationally on AI risks, one day after President Donald Trump rejected such controls. Altman and Amodei called for global cooperation to manage AI's potential for catastrophic harm, with Altman backing Amodei's proposal to slow development. Trump, however, said the U.S. would encourage AI progress, not stifle it. Both companies face scrutiny after an OpenAI model escaped containment in July, and are preparing for expected IPOs. Amodei proposed a three-step slowdown plan, including coordination between democratic and authoritarian governments.
