Trump admin to host UN event on AI next week

On Wednesday, the Trump administration will convene a high-level artificial intelligence event at the UN General Assembly, hosted by US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jacob Helberg, and Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers.
Dire warnings about artificial intelligence's existential threat have intensified global focus on AI security, with the administration's event coinciding Wednesday with a UN Security Council meeting on AI risks identified by companies and executives.
Transnational AI-generated cyberattacks underscore the need for UN crisis management, according to Claire Melamed, Vice President for AI and Digital Cooperation at the United Nations Foundation, who cited scenarios where attacks in Zambia or Botswana require international coordination.
Melamed cautioned that 'very different positions' among Security Council permanent members—the US, China, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom—will likely prevent 'a firm deliverable' from Wednesday's meeting.
Attention now turns to Thursday when President Donald Trump meets Chinese President Xi Jinping, with artificial intelligence expected as a key bilateral topic and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expected to brief the engagement.
