Chinese AI startup DeepSeek and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei are among those briefing the United Nations Security Council this week on risks posed by artificial intelligence and international security, in sessions timed to the UN General Assembly1,3.
Moonshot, another Chinese AI company, is also participating in the briefings, according to Reuters. The sessions focus on the potential risks and security challenges of AI2.
The inclusion of DeepSeek and Moonshot marks a notable instance of Chinese AI companies engaging directly with the Security Council on safety and security questions. DeepSeek's participation was separately reported by the Chinese-language outlet AIBase, which described the company as reporting to the Security Council on AI's potential risks and security challenges.
ANALYSIS The presence of both Chinese and U.S.-headquartered AI developers in the same Security Council forum places competing national AI ecosystems in a shared governance setting.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei will separately brief the Security Council on AI risks, according to Bloomberg. The briefing's specific agenda items beyond AI risks were not detailed in the available excerpt.
ANALYSIS The Security Council's decision to hear from commercial AI developers, rather than only government representatives or academic experts, treats the companies themselves as stakeholders in international security discussions.
