OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs Advocate for Global AI Cooperation at UN Amid Trump's Opposition
Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic addressed the United Nations Security Council, urging international collaboration to manage artificial intelligence risks. They emphasized that even competing nations can unite over shared interests in handling powerful new technologies like AI. This call for cooperation followed a speech by President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, where he criticized what he called a 'globalist scheme' to control AI and pledged U.S. support for its advancement without restrictions. Both executives have recently advocated slowing down AI development to better assess risks after growing concerns about potential harm from advanced models. Their positions raise questions about practical implications as both companies prepare for anticipated initial public offerings (IPOs). Trump, meanwhile, has taken a contrasting stance, stating the U.S. will not hinder AI growth and will instead encourage its progress.
