UN Security Council convened high-level AI briefing, three years after holding its first formal debate on the technology. Artificial intelligence has become a major fault line at the UN General Assembly, with governments and tech executives split over whether increasingly powerful AI systems need global regulation. The UN Security Council convened a high-level AI briefing Wednesday, three years after holding its first formal debate on the technology. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for greater international cooperation on safety risks, while White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios argued against creating a global regulatory regime. French President Emmanuel Macron called for greater technological independence from the US and China, while President Donald Trump told the UN he would not “stifle” AI growth. AI is also expected to feature in Trump's talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington.
