Historic Session at the United Nations

Leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic attended a special session held at the United Nations Security Council in New York. Organized at the initiative of France, this meeting was recorded as one of the significant steps taken at the international level in the field of artificial intelligence.

Call for International Cooperation

Speaking at the meeting, artificial intelligence executives drew attention to the necessity of acting jointly on a global scale regarding advanced AI models. While the US administration maintains its distant stance against global regulations, a message of cooperation came from industry representatives.

Security Incidents During the Summer

The historic session took place following a series of security incidents in the summer months that resulted in the loss of control over advanced artificial intelligence agents. These developments triggered discussions on international oversight mechanisms and security measures.

Proposal for International Licensing

Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the UN scientific panel on AI and Turing Award winner, emphasized that the risks of artificial intelligence going off the rails are real and imminent. Bengio advocated for an international licensing regime for advanced AI models, similar to critical sectors such as medicine, aviation, and nuclear energy.
