OpenAI, Anthropic to brief UN Security Council on AI risks: Reports

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, are set to brief the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday concerning the risks associated with artificial intelligence. CNBC reported that the UN has confirmed this participation. Additionally, Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue and Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the UN's Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, are also expected to attend.

Reuters stated that the Security Council meeting will delve into the rising apprehensions surrounding AI's potential impact on global security. Chinese AI companies DeepSeek and Moonshot have been summoned to provide statements at the meeting. While DeepSeek's founder, Liang Wenfeng, is expected to participate, he has not indicated his attendance, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The Security Council initiated formal discussions on artificial intelligence in 2023 as governments began to scrutinize the security implications of these technologies. France is hosting the Security Council meeting on Wednesday, which comes against the backdrop of growing concerns about the increasing capabilities of AI systems and the potential loss of human control.

Cointelegraph attempted to contact Anthropic, OpenAI, and the UN spokesperson's office for confirmation and comment, but had not received a response at the time of publication.
