Sam Altman and Dario Amodei warned the UN Security Council that the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence could cause humans to lose control of the technology if its development continues without international coordination. The CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic, respectively, advocated for common global safety standards and a shared language for verifying compliance to mitigate risks including the misuse of AI for biological weapons. Altman stated that OpenAI has unilaterally slowed its development in the past to maintain safety and will do so again in the future.

White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios pushed back against these proposals, labeling efforts to establish global governance a "globalist scheme" that would unfairly constrain the frontier of intelligence. Other speakers at the session, including Clément Delangue, urged for increased transparency and open-source AI, citing the lessons learned from the first disclosed agent cyberattack. Yoshua Bengio also addressed the council, describing the threat of uncontrolled frontier AI agents as an unprecedented risk.
