Sam Altman and Dario Amodei told the UN Security Council on Sept 23 that AI needs international coordination. The pitch landed one day after President Trump called global AI oversight a 'globalist scheme' from the same podium. The builders and the White House now want opposite things.
Key Points
Altman and Amodei briefed the 15-member Security Council on Wednesday, Sept 23, under France's presidency
Amodei floated three ideas: narrow global bans such as AI-built bioweapons, cross-country verification of commitments, and shared testing standards plus an AI incident notification system
Altman argued rival nations have cooperated before when facing a powerful new technology
Trump used his UN address a day earlier to reject a 'globalist scheme' to control AI
Why It Matters
When the two largest US labs lobby for multilateral guardrails their own government rejects, expect safety policy to be set by companies, allies and states rather than Washington.
