Sam Altman will brief the UN Security Council on AI risks

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is due to address an open Security Council meeting next week, alongside the UN General Assembly gathering in New York. The meeting will examine whether increasingly capable AI models could help people plan or carry out acts affecting international peace and security, or become difficult to control. OpenAI says Altman will argue for international coordination and shared safety standards, while describing the company’s own safeguards and its goal of making AI’s benefits broadly available. The briefing will not create global AI rules, but it underscores that advanced AI is no longer being treated only as a commercial or consumer technology; it is also becoming a security concern.
