 DeepSeek to address Security Council on AI risks
NEW YORK, 22 Sept. - 9ANA) - Chinese AI startup DeepSeek will be among the companies briefing the UN Security Council this week on the risks posed by artificial intelligence, two sources told Reuters.
The 15-member Security Council is set to meet tomorrow to discuss AI and international security, weeks after several AI industry leaders called for a coordinated slowdown of the development of the increasingly powerful AI systems, warning that they could soon improve on their own and slip beyond human control.
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman plans to brief the meeting, where diplomats also expect participation from senior representatives of Anthropic.
Artificial intelligence is providing another test of the UN’s relevance this week. For Secretary General Antonio Guterres, nearing the end of his term in office, UNGA offers one of his last opportunities to make the case for greater international co-operation on AI, which he previously described as one of the defining forces of the century.
Mr Guterres welcomed an international initiative launched yesterday by Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store entitled the Call for Control of Frontier AI Models.
Mr Guterres will open the general debate this morning under the theme: Restoring trust, managing transformation: A United Nations that delivers for all. - (ANA) -
