World Leaders to Address AI Risks and Regulation at UN Security Council
AI leaders are set to brief the UN Security Council in an emergency session following weeks of warnings over uncontrolled AI risks.
Artificial intelligence leaders are due to brief the United Nations Security Council later today at an emergency session convened to discuss growing concerns about the technology's risks and the need for regulation.
The briefing follows weeks of warnings from experts and officials about the potentially uncontrollable risks posed by rapidly advancing AI systems. Those warnings have fueled calls for stronger international oversight and coordinated regulatory frameworks to manage the technology's development and deployment.
The Security Council session reflects a broader push by governments and international bodies to bring artificial intelligence governance onto the global diplomatic agenda, as the technology's capabilities and reach continue to expand across sectors including defense, communications and infrastructure.
Details on specific proposals or outcomes expected from the session had not been disclosed ahead of the briefing. The meeting adds to a series of recent international discussions focused on establishing guardrails for AI development amid concerns that regulation has not kept pace with the technology's growth.
