Altman, Amodei to brief UN on AI

• OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei are addressing the UN Security Council on AI, advocating for common global benchmarks.
• Amodei has highlighted both AI risks (cybersecurity, bioweapons) and benefits (curing diseases), pushing for international coordination.
• A split exists in Silicon Valley, with some CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) and Jensen Huang (Nvidia) opposing regulation, while the White House also rejects a global control system for AI.

CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic are briefing the UN Security Council on AI regulation and safety. While acknowledging risks like cybersecurity and bioweapons, they aim for a 'pragmatic middle ground' with common global benchmarks. This contrasts with some tech leaders and the White House, who are wary of extensive global regulation, creating a complex political landscape for AI governance.
