Sam Altman’s remarks at the United Nations Security Council
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told the UN Security Council powerful AI must remain under human control and urged international cooperation on safety.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the United Nations Security Council on AI's opportunities and risks. He identified two catastrophic risk paths: losing control of increasingly autonomous AI, including systems capable of recursive self-improvement, and concentration of power in too few hands. He stated OpenAI has unilaterally slowed development before and will not train models without strong alignment, monitorability, and human-control guarantees, and called for international cooperation on AI safety.
