OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday on the rapid advances in artificial intelligence, calling for greater care as AI systems become more capable and autonomous. "AI can either be more like a new renaissance of creativity and discovery, or more like a new industrial revolution of upheaval and disarray," said Altman. Highlighting the potential risks of AI, Altman called for global cooperation with governments to incorporate standards into its own legal systems. Altman said, "We need accurate and speedy incident reporting, with classification and reporting protocols, so the world can learn from failures before they become catastrophes."
