"There have been situations where countries that compete and do not always appreciate each other have nevertheless been able to unite in common interests and for the common good in the encounter with a new powerful technology. We believe this is such a situation," Altman told the Security Council late Wednesday night.
Similar sentiments were heard from Amodei, who recently warned that AI technology now has the ability to improve itself, which could lead to humans' ability to understand and control systems becoming obsolete.
The warning, which was welcomed by Altman and others, comes at a time when both Anthropic and OpenAI are preparing IPOs with valuations that could reach upwards of SEK 1,000 billion.
Clément Delangue, head of the Hugging Face platform, also spoke before the Security Council. Hugging Face came to prominence this summer when OpenAI's AI agents attacked the platform. However, Delangue used part of his speech to warn against overreacting to such incidents.
We have a clear view that narratives based on fear are not the way forward when it comes to making the right decisions about the future of such a central and enabling technology.
We were attacked by AI, but more importantly, we defended ourselves with the help of AI.
