Altman and Amodei urge UN Security Council to coordinate on AI risks
OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei spoke to the United Nations Security Council, calling for international cooperation to manage risks from artificial intelligence. Altman argued that nations with competing interests have historically united over powerful new technologies and said this should be one of those moments. The appearance came a day after President Trump told the UN General Assembly he would not "stifle growth" of AI, dismissing global control efforts as a "globalist scheme."
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The contrast between the CEOs' call for coordination and Trump's resistance to international oversight highlights a widening gap between industry safety advocates and the current U.S. administration's stance on regulation. Amodei's earlier proposal to slow AI development, publicly echoed by rival Altman, suggests growing unease within the industry itself about the technology's trajectory. Their UN appearance could be read as an attempt to build international consensus that bypasses reluctant national governments, though whether it leads to concrete action remains uncertain.
- Altman and Amodei jointly urged the UN Security Council to pursue international AI coordination.
- Trump told the UN General Assembly he opposes efforts to rein in AI, calling them a "globalist scheme."
- Amodei's recent proposal to slow AI development drew rare public agreement from rival Altman.
