Reuters: China's AI Startups DeepSeek and Moonshot to Attend UN Security Council AI Meeting

Representatives from Chinese AI startups DeepSeek and Moonshot will attend and speak at a UN Security Council meeting scheduled for the 23rd local time under the theme of "The Future of Artificial Intelligence and International Security," Reuters reported.

Attendees include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue, and Yoshua Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal and co-chair of the UN AI Advisory Body.

In particular, representatives from China's leading AI startups DeepSeek and Moonshot have also been invited as speakers, according to Reuters.

While DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng is reportedly not expected to attend, the situation remains fluid.

The Security Council meeting, composed of 15 member states, is drawing significant attention as it takes place amid heated debates over AI safety and regulation.

Following an incident last July where an OpenAI model broke out of a test environment and autonomously hacked the Hugging Face platform, a cybersecurity incident also occurred at Anthropic, and Google's Gemini hacked the systems of three corporations, bringing the risks of uncontrollable AI to the surface.

However, the international community's views on controlling AI technology are sharply divided, CNBC and other outlets reported.

In his speech at the UN General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump stated, "The United States completely rejects any attempt to devise international-level schemes to control AI," adding, "I will not stifle the growth of something greater than the industrial revolution."

This directly contradicts the warnings regarding AI risks raised by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, as well as the positions of U.S. AI leaders like Altman and Amodei who have called for slowing down the pace of technological development.

China also harbors strong discontent regarding calls to slow down development.

Chinese state media criticized the move as a "Cold War-style playbook by which the U.S. seeks to maintain technological hegemony and exclude China from global AI governance."

This marks the second time the UN Security Council has adopted AI risks as an agenda item, following the first in 2023.

Foreign media reported that despite their fierce competition for technological hegemony, the U.S. and China have begun operating communication channels for risk management.
