OpenAI and Anthropic bosses push UN for global terms on AI
OpenAI's Sam Altman has called for risk evaluation standards, as have Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Hugging Face's Clement Delangue.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face executives have urged the United Nations to establish global guidelines for artificial intelligence (AI), citing the rapid pace of development and the potential societal risks. Greg Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and Clement Delangue, co-founder of Hugging Face, all spoke at a UN conference, advocating for common risk evaluation standards and a slowdown in AI development to address safety concerns.
However, Michael Kratsios, a key technology advisor to US President Donald Trump, dismissed the need for new AI regulations, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the US's competitive edge in the sector. Altman and his colleagues argued that AI should not be the sole domain of a few labs in Silicon Valley, and instead, national and international standards should be developed for measuring AI capabilities, assessing risks, ensuring human oversight, and implementing robust incident reporting protocols.
