Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek and other domestic firms have been invited to brief the United Nations Security Council on technology risks. The fifteen-member body scheduled a session to discuss AI and international security during the annual UN General Assembly in New York. The development comes as global leaders and technology executives debate the regulatory oversight and potential hazards of advanced autonomous systems. OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman and representatives from Anthropic are expected to participate in the discussions. While US industry leaders have frequently warned about catastrophic risks and autonomous deception, Chinese developers have remained largely quiet on such concerns. Chinese state media previously characterized Western calls for development slowdowns as a strategy to maintain technological dominance. The diplomatic engagement occurs alongside broader bilateral talks between United States and Chinese officials regarding artificial intelligence safety and governance frameworks.
