OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs urge global AI regulation at UN
Industry leaders called for coordinated international rules as the Trump administration resists new guardrails.
The chief executives of OpenAI and Anthropic used a United Nations platform to call for global regulation of artificial intelligence, urging coordinated international action even as the Trump administration has been reluctant to impose new guardrails on the industry.
The appeal from two of the most prominent AI companies comes at a moment when governments around the world are grappling with how, and whether, to regulate rapidly advancing AI systems, with approaches varying widely between regions.
A notable industry stance
Calls for regulation from the companies building the technology are notable given ongoing debate over how much oversight the AI industry should face, and from whom. The leaders' comments suggest a degree of concern within the industry itself about the pace of AI development outstripping regulatory frameworks.
The Trump administration's reluctance to set up new AI guardrails places the US government's posture at odds with the position articulated by the OpenAI and Anthropic executives at the UN, highlighting a gap between industry calls for rules and current US policy direction.
The remarks were made as part of broader discussions on AI governance taking place alongside the UN General Assembly session this year, with global regulation of the technology remaining a contested and unresolved issue.
