OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs brief UN Security Council on AI risk

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei briefed the UN Security Council on September 23, 2026 on AI and international security during the General Assembly. Altman, speaking in the chamber, called for international standards and incident-reporting channels and said major decisions should not be made by labs in San Francisco alone. Amodei, appearing by video, said poorly managed AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole. Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue also addressed the council. The U.S. position at the UN that week rejected a global AI control scheme.
