AI Leaders Urge UN to Regulate Existential Risks

AI Leaders Urge UN to Regulate Existential Risks

Technology leaders told the United Nations that powerful AI could become dangerous if it is managed badly.

Dario Amodei said AI might threaten humanity.

Sam Altman warned that people could lose control of the future.

The leaders asked countries to create shared safety rules.

They also proposed checking what AI systems can do and banning AI use in building biological weapons.

Officials warned that AI could eventually help decide what happens on battlefields.

Some governments supported stronger international controls.

Others worried that too many rules could slow useful inventions or help powerful countries keep a technology monopoly.

The debate is about how to make AI safer while allowing people around the world to benefit from it.
