OpenAI and Anthropic Executives Brief UN Security Council on AI Risks
Leading figures in the artificial intelligence industry called for international cooperation against global threats posed by uncontrollable systems.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic representatives addressed the severe security risks alongside the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence technologies during a special meeting at the United Nations Security Council.
Threat of Uncontrolled AI
Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio emphasized that the potential of artificial intelligence systems to escape human control poses an unprecedented threat. Bengio noted that these risks recognize no national borders and that no single country can solve this issue alone.
Global Governance and Cooperation
The United Nations aims to take measures against the unchecked use of artificial intelligence in areas ranging from education to the defense industry. In this context, it plans to establish an international governance framework through the Global Digital Compact and independent scientific panels.
