Tech chiefs warn UN Security Council on AI risks

thestar.com.my —

Leaders of major artificial intelligence firms told the UN Security Council on Sept 23 that the technology requires heightened vigilance, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warning that AI systems could move faster than institutions or concentrate power into too few hands. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei pledged to slow down as necessary to ensure safety, stating that if managed poorly, AI could pose a risk to humanity as a whole. The briefing followed global concerns about uncontrollable AI and incidents like a cyberattack on Hugging Face by autonomous OpenAI software. The executives' remarks come ahead of a US-China summit where AI will be discussed, though US President Donald Trump has rejected international regulation, calling it a "globalist scheme." Other nations, including Britain and France, have urged joint action on setting global AI standards.
