LIVE: OpenAI and Anthropic brief Security Council amid ‘real and imminent’ threat posed by runaway AI
UN News reports that the Security Council is holding its first standalone discussion focused on the international security risks of increasingly capable AI. Executives from OpenAI, Anthropic and Hugging Face are due to brief ambassadors on safeguards, control mechanisms and the prospect of increasingly autonomous systems. The development matters globally because advanced AI is increasingly being treated as strategic security infrastructure rather than only as a technology-policy issue.

UN News reports that the Security Council is holding its first standalone discussion focused on the international security risks of increasingly capable AI. Executives from OpenAI, Anthropic and Hugging Face are due to brief ambassadors on safeguards, control mechanisms and the prospect of increasingly autonomous systems. The development matters globally because advanced AI is increasingly being treated as strategic security infrastructure rather than only as a technology-policy issue.
What is reported
The Security Council has been briefed by some of the world's top AI executives on the huge benefits and huge risks the frontier technology presents. With warnings mounting that the world may be losing its grip on systems built to outthink us, Yoshua Bengio, Co-Chair of the UN-backed Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, said the dangers of AI beyond human control represent an unprecedented threat for countries “that none can contain alone – and that does not respect the borders we defend.”
