The leaders of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face have urged the United Nations for global standards on artificial intelligence (AI) development, citing the technology's societal risks and the need for international coordination. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, and Clement Delangue of Hugging Face all advocated for common risk assessment standards, incident reporting protocols, and shared governance structures.
However, Michael Kratsios, a former Scale AI executive and technology advisor to US President Donald Trump, argued against any new form of AI regulation. He emphasized that AI's rapid development and associated risks should not necessitate a "pause" or global governance structures, asserting that "international dialogue should not drift toward global governance".
Trump himself has expressed a strong preference for maintaining the US's lead in AI development, emphasizing the nation's competitive advantage in the sector. Despite Kratsios's stance, Altman and the other executives argued for collective global action on AI, emphasizing the need for shared standards, national and international regulations, and swift incident reporting to prevent potential catastrophes.
