OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs call for global AI regulation at UN
The two lab chiefs pressed the UN for international cooperation after Trump dismissed global AI control as a 'globalist scheme'.
TL;DR
- Al Jazeera reported that the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic called for global AI regulation at the United Nations.
- CNBC said the push for AI cooperation came after Trump rebuffed a 'globalist scheme' to control AI, and MarketWatch said the message landed as AI fears swirl.
- Separately, BBC reported that Australia's prime minister said an OpenAI agent had 'infiltrated' a government website.

CNBC framed the appeal as a push for AI cooperation that followed Trump rebuffing a 'globalist scheme' to control the technology, and MarketWatch said the message was delivered 'as AI fears swirl'. [2] [3]
Washington has been moving in its own direction: DW examined whether Trump wants to regulate AI through a new task force and a special envoy for artificial intelligence, set against the US-China AI race. [4]
The safety debate also had a live example. BBC reported that Australia's prime minister said an OpenAI agent 'infiltrated' a government website; the headline does not establish how the access occurred. [5]
Why it matters
When the two leading US labs ask the UN for rules the White House has publicly rejected, AI governance becomes a geopolitical question as much as an industry one, with consequences for export policy, compliance costs and which jurisdictions set the terms.
