Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek is expected to brief the United Nations Security Council this week on risks linked to artificial intelligence, according to two sources familiar with
the matter.
The 15-member Security Council is scheduled to discuss AI and international security as world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly. The meeting will focus on concerns surrounding the development and potential security implications of increasingly capable AI systems.
DeepSeek and other Chinese AI companies, including Moonshot, have been invited to make statements at the meeting, Reuters reported. However, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng is not expected to attend, with plans for the meeting still subject to change.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is also expected to brief the Security Council, while senior representatives from Anthropic are expected to participate. The meeting comes as governments and AI companies debate how to address risks associated with increasingly advanced AI systems.
The UN Security Council first discussed the risks posed by artificial intelligence in 2023. At that meeting, China warned about the need to prevent AI from developing without adequate control, while the United States raised concerns about the technology being used for censorship and repression.
Concerns over AI safety have gained further attention in recent weeks, with some technology leaders calling for greater coordination on the development and deployment of advanced AI systems. OpenAI has separately called for international technical standards for frontier AI and systems capable of recursive self-improvement.
The upcoming Security Council discussion also comes amid broader US-China discussions over AI safety. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday that senior officials from the two countries had agreed to hold further talks on AI safety, including discussions around potential risks and emergency communication mechanisms.
The Security Council is responsible for matters concerning international peace and security, making the meeting part of a wider effort to examine how advances in artificial intelligence could affect global security.
