The 15-member Security Council is due to meet on Wednesday on artificial intelligence and international security, just weeks after several AI industry leaders called for a coordinated slowdown of the development of the increasingly powerful technology, warning that it could soon improve on its own and slip beyond human control. "Sam Altman will brief an open UN Security Council meeting in person next week," an OpenAI spokesperson told Reuters. Altman's remarks were expected to focus on the need for international coordination and shared safety standards, as well as steps.
