OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs Urge Global AI Cooperation at UN
Sam Altman and Dario Amodei call for international standards as Trump rejects 'globalist scheme' for regulation.
KEY POINTS
- Altman and Amodei addressed UN Security Council on AI risks
- Executives urged international cooperation and global standards
- Trump rejected global regulation, calling it a 'globalist scheme'
- Guterres supported international coordination on frontier models
- Amodei previously proposed independent audits and slower development
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei addressed the UN Security Council on Wednesday, urging nations to cooperate on governing advanced artificial intelligence. The rare joint appearance by rival executives highlighted shared concerns that frontier models could soon surpass human ability to control them.
Their appeal came one day after US President Donald Trump told the General Assembly that the United States would not slow AI development. Trump dismissed international regulatory efforts as a "globalist scheme" and vowed to continue encouraging growth in the sector.
“We believe this must be one of those moments.”
Altman argued that competing countries have historically united against shared technological threats and should do so again. Amodei has previously proposed independent audits, industry coordination, and international agreements to manage risks.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres backed the push for global standards, positioning the UN as a platform for coordination. The Security Council session ran parallel to the General Assembly debates in New York.
