“On September 23, 2026, the chief executives of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face took seats at the UN Security Council. They were participating in a high-level briefing on artificial intelligence (AI) and international security convened by France during the General Assembly’s high-level week. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot chaired the meeting. Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the UN’s Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, told members that AI beyond human control is a threat that no state can contain alone and that does not respect borders. It was the Council’s first meeting devoted specifically to the safety risks of AI systems.”
