OpenAI calls for global US-led coalition on AI safety
Debate over the technology’s risk and promise looms over this week’s UN General Assembly.
OpenAI has urged the United States to assume a leadership role in crafting global technical standards for advanced artificial intelligence. The call for "frontier AI" standards comes as industry leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, advocate for a controlled slowdown in AI development to prevent systems from surpassing human control.
OpenAI maintains that a mechanism should be established to foster complementary national and international standards, alongside common measurements and incident reporting protocols. The company asserts that initiating this process now will shape the global AI landscape for the better, either by strengthening existing US and allied networks or risking fragmentation and conflict.
OpenAI emphasizes the importance of ensuring AI alignment with human values during development. UN Security Council President France will convene a meeting with OpenAI's CEO to discuss AI's implications for international security.
