UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The heads of major artificial intelligence firms addressed the United Nations on September 23, 2026, urging the organization to implement controls over the rapidly developing technology. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, stated, "If managed poorly, I even believe AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole." Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, echoed this sentiment, saying, "We could lose control of the future to AI." Both executives emphasized the need for global safeguards to prevent the technology from becoming too powerful and to ensure that its capabilities are not concentrated in a single company or country. The U.N. Security Council convened to discuss whether and how to regulate the increasing capabilities of artificial intelligence. Key questions included who should control critical decisions and the potential consequences of inaction. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had previously warned about the dangers of autonomous weapons, which experts and European leaders suggest are becoming a reality. The discussions reflect growing concerns about the implications of AI on global security and ethics.
