The CEOs of two of America\u2019s top AI companies told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that artificial intelligence has become a threat to global security, and asked world governments to write shared rules for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
Yet the White House won\u2019t jump. On Thursday morning, ahead of his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump posted that \u201csuper intelligence\u201d\u2014his administration\u2019s new term for AI\u2014would be a big topic of discussion, \u201cbut I want to leave it exactly where it is. That is China\u2019s position also.\u201d He added: \u201cOur guardrail is the DOJ!\u201d<\/p>\n
And hours later, standing next to Trump at the White House, Xi struck a different, more cooperative note. \u201cWe have both the capability and responsibility to develop and manage AI for good and ensure that development of AI is always under human control,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Behind the scenes, the two nations have begun talking. China\u2019s commerce ministry said at a press conference Thursday the countries had held their first dialogue on AI, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York earlier in the week. Bessent said that the U.S. proposed a notification mechanism between the two countries for national security-related AI incidents.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s similar to what Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei asked the Security Council for a day earlier. \u201cNo leader, no company, and no nation can manage this alone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also an early sign that the administration\u2019s public posture and private diplomacy don\u2019t fully line up. Two days earlier, Trump told the UN General Assembly the U.S. rejects any \u201cglobalist scheme\u201d to control AI. Yet now his Treasury secretary is proposing a formal channel with China, the country which Trump and American VCs cast as the main villain in the race to AI against the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet Amodei\u2019s proposal at the Security Council went further. He called for starting with small agreements every country could agree on, such as a ban on using AI to make biological weapons, then building systems for governments to verify each other\u2019s commitments, and then the global alert system. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also called for fast, shared incident reporting. And he said his company had slowed down its own AI development before and would again, undercutting the industry\u2019s usual argument that they\u2019re locked in a race they can\u2019t escape from.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Borrowing the UN\u2019s language<\/strong><\/p>\nXi\u2019s line about keeping AI \u201cunder human control\u201d echoed nearly word for word what speakers told the Security Council a day earlier. Yoshua Bengio, an AI scientist who co-chaired the UN\u2019s scientific panel on AI, said the goal was AI that \u201cdemonstrably remains under our control.\u201d Pakistan\u2019s foreign minister also said the top priority was to \u201cretain human judgment and control\u201d over AI.<\/p>\n
That allows Beijing to present itself as the responsible party on AI as it visits the White House, while Trump claims China shares his hands-off approach.<\/p>\n
China is also building its own coalition on safe AI. In July it launched the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, with 29 countries (and no major Western democracies), pitched to the developing world as a way to share AI rather than let a few American companies dominate. At the Security Council, Pakistan, a founding member of that organization, warned that measures \u201cpursued in the name of safety must not become instruments of denial of technology,\u201d a thinly veiled shot at U.S. export controls on advanced chips, or of a regulatory regime that would prioritize a few top models at the expense of open source. Loosening the chip controls is one of Xi\u2019s top asks this week.<\/p>\n
Clement Delangue, the french CEO of Hugging Face, the company OpenAI\u2019s models hacked this summer, agrees with Xi that open models keep all the companies safer. He told the council that when his team tried to use closed American AI models to defend itself, the models\u2019 safeguards blocked them. So they fought the attack with an open sourced model from China. The bigger risk than powerful AI, he said, is that just a few companies and countries control it.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s an awkward pitch for OpenAi and Athropic, both of which sell closed models. The safety regime that they are instead pitching, with extensive testing, verification and a coordinated pace at the frontier, is also the kind that only a few well funded companies can most easily meet.<\/p>\n
American tech isn\u2019t necessarily united behind the CEOs, either. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told NBC News this week that he doesn\u2019t think the industry needs \u201csome kind of industrywide coordination,\u201d arguing there\u2019s \u201cplenty of commercial incentive to get this right.\u201d Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who is expected at Thursday night\u2019s state dinner with Xi, has called AI fears overblown. Trump\u2019s position is much closer to theirs than to Altman\u2019s or Amodei\u2019s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
