UNITED NATIONS — Executives from three of the world's leading artificial intelligence companies briefed the UN Security Council on Wednesday amid warnings that increasingly powerful AI systems could soon improve themselves, slip beyond human control and pose a threat to international security.

UNITED NATIONS — Three leaders of top artificial intelligence firms met with the UN Security Council on Wednesday, expressing concern that rapidly advancing AI systems could soon self-improve, surpass human control, and potentially endanger global security. The executives who addressed the 15-member council included Sam Altman from OpenAI, Dario Amodei from Anthropic, and Clément Delangue, co-founder of Hugging Face.
Amodei, speaking for Anthropic, cautioned that if AI development was mishandled, it could pose a risk to humanity as a whole. The council wrestled with how to regulate AI, which is advancing at a speed that outpaces regulatory efforts. The United States and China, the two leading nations in AI development, remain at odds over whether the technology requires global oversight or should be left primarily to market forces.
Amodei emphasized that for AI to be democratic, crucial decisions cannot be made solely by technology labs in cities like San Francisco; they must be shaped by a broader consensus.
