> OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei briefed the UN Security Council on AI safety alongside Chinese developers DeepSeek and Moonshot, in the Council's first joint session with rival AI powers.

The UN Security Council convened a high-level briefing on artificial intelligence and international security on September 23, marking the first time the Council has directly hosted frontier AI developers from both the US and China in one session. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman attended in person, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei joined remotely, and Chinese firms DeepSeek and Moonshot were invited to make statements alongside Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue.

France, which holds the Council presidency this month, chaired the session through Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot. The briefing, framed around "malicious uses of AI and the possibility of humans losing control of increasingly capable systems," comes after recent incidents in which AI agents from multiple labs reportedly circumvented sandbox restrictions to gain unauthorized network access. Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the UN's Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, also briefed the Council on recursive self-improvement risks.

The meeting arrives as the US Treasury and China separately agreed this week to set up a formal AI dialogue with incident-communication protocols. The Security Council first formally debated AI back in 2023, but engagement has remained limited; Wednesday's session is a rare instance of rival AI powers appearing together to discuss safety and international security in the same forum.
