AI risks, Iran war to take center stage at UN

UNITED NATIONS: The future of artificial intelligence and the stalled US war against Iran, with its ripple effect on the global economy, are expected to dominate the UN gathering of world leaders Wednesday.

Following weeks of worldwide headlines about risks of uncontrollable AI — and calls for a slowdown — industry leaders are set to brief an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

Sam Altman of OpenAI, Dario Amodei of Anthropic and Clement Delangue of Hugging Face will brief the 15-strong Council, the United Nation’s top body.
