The United Nations
Security Council coverage LIVE
The Security Council turns its attention to artificial intelligence at 3pm as the global debate over AI safety - and who controls it - intensifies at the UN. Tech leaders driving the AI race, including the heads of OpenAI, Anthropic and Hugging Face, are due to brief ambassadors, with warnings mounting that the world may be losing its grip on systems built to outthink us. It is the first time the Council has zeroed in on this risk alone: what happens if humans lose control?
What you need to know:
- Concerns are mounting about the rapid growth of AI, which is being used widely, from classrooms to battlefields, with few guardrails in place
- UN efforts include establishing the Global Digital Compact to foster cooperation in governing digital technology and AI
- Also expected to brief are Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue and Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the Independent International Scientific Panel of the United Nations on AI
