OpenAI and Anthropic bosses push UN for global terms on AI

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face leaders urged the UN to create global standards for evaluating AI risks and ensuring safe development, arguing that decisions about powerful AI tools should not be made by individual companies alone. However, a Trump administration advisor rejected the idea of new AI regulation or a development slowdown, citing the US's competitive advantage over China. The debate reflects a fundamental disagreement about whether international coordination on AI safety is necessary or would hinder progress.
