A spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed that Sam Altman will travel to New York to provide an in-person update to the UN Security Council. The session, scheduled for next Wednesday, focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and international security during the annual UN General Assembly.

Altman will outline OpenAI's safety efforts and call for the adoption of shared global standards and international coordination. This high-level interaction follows a series of appeals from AI industry executives who urged a coordinated slowdown in the development of advanced models over concerns they could become harder to control.
