Altman, Amodei and DeepSeek are expected to brief the UN Security Council on AI risks

The UN Security Council will hold a session on the future of artificial intelligence on Wednesday, while world leaders are in New York for the General Assembly. France, which holds the council's rotating presidency, called the meeting. According to a French concept note, the session will address malicious use of AI and the risk of losing control of advanced models. Bloomberg reported that Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei will brief the council remotely. OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman will attend in person, an OpenAI spokesperson told Reuters. The spokesperson said Altman is expected to discuss OpenAI's safety efforts and the importance of international cooperation and common safety standards. Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the UN's panel on AI, and Hugging Face chief executive Clément Delangue are also listed as briefers. Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that DeepSeek is expected to speak and that Moonshot and other Chinese AI companies were also invited. One source cautioned that the plans could change at the last minute and said DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng is not expected to attend. The council first discussed AI in July 2023. The meeting will put US and Chinese developers before the body responsible for international peace and security, after weeks of public debate over how fast frontier AI should advance.
