Heads of AI firms tell UN Security Council that it could be a risk to all humanity
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Top artificial intelligence executives addressed the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday, urging the international body to impose controls on the rapidly advancing technology to prevent potential risks to humanity. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI could "lose control of the future to AI" and called for safeguards to prevent the technology from becoming too powerful.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, echoed similar sentiments. The council's deliberations come as the technology's capabilities and pervasiveness continue to grow. Key questions remain: who should ultimately be responsible for making life-and-death decisions in an AI-dominated world, and how can the technology's power be distributed more equitably among companies and nations?
