OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned the UN Security Council that ‘we could lose control’ of the technology, addressing representatives in New York City on Wednesday.
“We could lose control of the future to AI,” he warned. “The risk is that it moves so fast that people can no longer follow what’s happening or intervene when needed. This would obviously be terrible. The industry must not accept too much technological risk just because the benefits are too great and that they feel too important to slow down.”

“Beating companies in competitive race is not a reason to make rash decisions, nor do we believe we are locked in a race where we are unable to do that,” he added.
Earlier this week, Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly that AI should be called ‘super intelligence’ – and added: “I’m not going to stifle growth of something that’s going to be bigger than the Industrial Revolution.”
