Heads of AI firms tell UN Security Council that it could be a risk to all humanity

Both said the countries of the world, through the U.N. Security Council, where they testified Wednesday, have to set safeguards of some kind, which would be actual controls to prevent the technology from getting too powerful to rein in.

The heads of major artificial intelligence firms pleaded with the United Nations on Wednesday to save the world or at least its people - in the form of somehow regulating the burgeoning technology that they have been designing. "If managed poorly, I even believe AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole," said Dario Amodei , chief executive officer of Anthropic. And from his competitor Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, came this assessment: "We could lose control of the future to AI." Both said the countries of the world, through the U.N. Security Council, where they testified Wednesday, have to set safeguards of some kind, which would be actual controls to prevent the technology from getting too powerful to rein in.

They also called for the world to make sure that the power of AI isn't concentrated in one company or country. " Those tech leaders "are telling us in stark terms that it cannot be left to them to prevent disaster from befalling the world," said United Kingdom Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said at the Security Council.
