OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs Warn UN Security Council of AI Risks

OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei addressed the UN Security Council, warning that AI could pose a risk to humanity if mismanaged and calling for international safety standards, incident reporting and governance beyond any single company or nation. President Trump countered the same week that the US "rejects" global AI regulation, insisting America will keep leading the field. The exchange highlights a widening split between calls for centralised global oversight of a rapidly self-advancing technology and national resistance to ceding control, a tension that will shape whether AI development converges toward global institutions or remains fragmented along national lines.
