UN Security Council hears AI warnings from OpenAI and Anthropic chiefs

tagesschau.de (German) —

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned the UN Security Council about the dangers of artificial intelligence, offering to cooperate on stronger regulation. Both cited risks of uncontrollable development and potential misuse. Altman highlighted AI's rapid progress, from solving elementary math three years ago to tackling Millennium Problems today, warning that humans may soon be unable to intervene. Amodei added concerns about terrorists using AI to build biological weapons, calling it a potential risk to all humanity. Silicon Valley expert Tom Ford suggested the warnings may not be entirely selfless, as companies seek to shape regulation rather than face legal action. While over 20 countries, including Germany, support an international regulatory body, US President Donald Trump dismissed the warnings as malicious misinformation.
