artificial intelligence UN Security Council Sam Altman AI safety international security

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is scheduled to brief the United Nations Security Council in person next week during the UN General Assembly in New York. The 15-member council will meet on Wednesday to discuss artificial intelligence and its implications for international security. Altman’s presentation is expected to address the necessity of international coordination, shared safety standards, and the steps OpenAI is taking to ensure the technology benefits humanity globally.

The Security Council meeting is being convened by France, which holds the rotating presidency for September. The session aims to analyze risks associated with the potential loss of control over advanced AI models or their misuse in ways that impact global peace and security.

Simultaneously, the Trump administration plans to host a high-level US event on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on the same Wednesday. Organized by US Ambassador Mike Waltz, Jacob Helberg, and Sarah Rogers, the event will focus on political, legal, and regulatory conditions that facilitate large-scale AI adoption and freedom of expression. This US initiative coincides with President Donald Trump’s recent public opposition to government AI regulation, which he has characterized as a ‘hoax’.
