OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs call for global AI regulation at UN
The CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic appeared at the United Nations to call for international regulation of artificial intelligence. The appeal brings two of the most prominent AI developers into a global policy forum to advocate for oversight of the technology they build.
Why this matters: AI companies asking for regulation sounds generous until you think about who gets to shape that regulation. When the biggest players in a technology show up at the UN to define the rules, they are not just asking to be governed. They are helping to decide what governance looks like. That is enormous influence over a process that is supposed to represent the public interest. Watch who else is in the room, what specific rules they are pushing for, and whether those rules make it harder for smaller competitors to operate.
