Top executives from major AI companies are set to brief the United Nations Security Council on artificial intelligence risks and safeguards. Multiple outlets report that the meeting takes place on Wednesday during the UN’s annual gathering of world leaders, with the 15-member council examining how increasingly capable AI systems could affect international security.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Hugging Face co-founder Clément Delangue are named by all the sources as among the planned speakers. Several reports say the discussion focuses on growing concerns that advanced AI may soon improve on its own, operate beyond human control, or create safety and security threats. The Financial Times and The Next Web add that Altman uses the appearance to call for national and international standards for frontier AI, arguing that even catastrophic levels of risk are unacceptable and that decisions should not be left only to individual labs.
Some differences appear in additional participants and details. One report states that Yoshua Bengio is expected to take part, and another says Chinese AI companies have been invited to comment, including DeepSeek, while its founder is not expected to attend. Other outlets emphasize the broader context: regulators are grappling with oversight as AI capabilities advance faster than governance frameworks, and governments remain divided over global guardrails versus market-led approaches. France convenes the meeting.
