OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei addressed the United Nations Security Council to request international cooperation on AI safety standards.
The executives warned that increasingly powerful AI systems pose significant risks to international security and humanity without proper management. Altman advocated for a democratic process to shape AI development, stating that tech labs should not make critical decisions alone.
The briefing included leaders from Hugging Face and prominent researchers who urged governments to establish shared benchmarks for measuring AI capabilities. These industry leaders reached a consensus on the need for global oversight to prevent misuse and maintain human control over AI.
