AI CEOs Urge UN to Set Global Standards as US Official Rejects Governance
OpenAI chief Sam Altman and Anthropic founder Dario Amodei urged the United Nations Security Council to adopt global AI risk standards, while a senior U. S. adviser rejected the proposal for new international governance. Earlier in the week, President Donald Trump announced the formation of an “AI Force” and the appointment of an AI czar to lead a new task force, emphasizing support for industry growth and dismissing calls for stricter safeguards.
He had repeatedly downplayed AI safety concerns and highlighted U. S. competitiveness with China. At the same time, CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic and other firms were meeting officials to discuss industry standards, and Congress was debating AI safety legislation.
