Anthropic, OpenAI CEOs Set To Brief UN Security Council On AI Risks

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are expected to address the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday as the body examines the risks artificial intelligence poses to global security.

Wide Range Of AI Leaders Set To Participate

Alongside Amodei and Altman, Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue and Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the UN’s Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, are also expected to take part in the briefing. Chinese AI firms DeepSeek and Moonshot have reportedly been invited to make statements as well, with DeepSeek expected to participate even though its founder does not plan to attend in person.

Meeting Reflects Growing Security Concerns

The session, convened by France, comes amid rising concern among governments over the capabilities of advanced AI systems and questions around maintaining human oversight as the technology advances. The Security Council first took up artificial intelligence as a formal discussion topic in 2023, marking the start of ongoing government-level scrutiny of the technology’s security implications.

Limited Confirmation From Companies Involved

As of publication, neither Anthropic, OpenAI, nor the UN spokesperson’s office had responded to requests for comment or confirmation regarding the companies’ participation in Wednesday’s session.
