Leaders of major AI companies addressed the UN Security Council on September 24, 2026, to discuss potential global risks posed by artificial intelligence. Participants emphasized that no single country or corporation can manage these challenges independently, calling for coordinated international action.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that improper management of AI could threaten humanity. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman advocated for democratic oversight, arguing that critical decisions regarding AI development should not be confined to private laboratories but handled through government-led processes.
The United States and China maintain divergent regulatory approaches. President Donald Trump stated that the US does not require new AI regulations and rejected global control schemes. Conversely, China has implemented specific rules for AI algorithms, training data, and mandatory labeling of AI-generated content.
Yoshua Bengio, a prominent AI researcher, described the risks as real and borderless. The UN Security Council has been holding sessions to evaluate the dangers associated with artificial intelligence since 2023.
