Executives from leading artificial intelligence organizations urged global cooperation Wednesday to address risks from increasingly autonomous AI systems during a UN Security Council meeting. The big picture: AI capabilities are advancing faster than governments are developing safeguards, raising concerns about whether humans can maintain control over increasingly autonomous systems. - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman appeared in person at the meeting, while Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue joined by video conference. Driving the news: "We have a choice in front of us," Altman said. "AI can either be more like a new renaissance of creativity and discovery, or more like a new industrial revolution of upheaval and…

As Xi Jinping visits President Trump in Washington, his country lags behind the United States on A.I. development in key areas — but Beijing has advantages elsewhere.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune says President Trump is "not really dug in" against guardrails for AI , despite Trump's public campaign against restricting the technology. Why it matters: Thune told Axios he spoke privately with Trump as the AI issue was getting "pretty hot" a few weeks ago and believes some of Trump's strong pushback is against public "paranoia and noise around the subject." - Thune reads Trump's position as a preference for companies coming up with ways to secure their systems, rather than Congress or the administration. That approach relies more on experts to provide guidance. - Trump has called recent fears around AI safety a "hoax." - "I do think that the threats are real," Thune told Axios in an interview on…

The left's push to rein in AI is taking shape on two fronts: slowing advanced development at home, and weakening China's progress abroad. Why it matters: The nation is locked in a moment of mass anxiety about runaway AI, but the range of views on how to regulate it are as varied as the what-ifs about social, economic and security impacts. - There's agreement among the left something has to be done, but a series of Wednesday events demonstrated there are multiple priorities — but not a clear leading voice — on AI. Driving the news: Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and fellow progressive Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced legislation Wednesday to ban superintelligence and pause advanced development until a new, Cabinet-level…
