OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs to address UN Security Council on AI risks

UN Security Council members will hear from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Wednesday about AI's security risks, amid disputes over development pace and international rules. The session, convened by France, will address threats from autonomous systems to critical infrastructure and human control. Amodei advocates slowing frontier AI progress with independent evaluations, while Hugging Face's Clément Delangue favors transparency over slowdowns, following recent cyber incidents involving AI models. The meeting follows President Trump's rejection of global AI restrictions, which he said would stifle growth. China's permanent council seat complicates coordination, highlighting unresolved questions over who sets safeguards and how to enforce them amid competitive development.
