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.
