The US stood alone in dismissing AI safety concerns at the UN
White House science and tech adviser Michael Kratsios rejected global efforts in a UN address that he called an “intervention.”ADAs a result, nations may be left setting nonbinding rules and best practices without the buy-in of the biggest companies’ home country. Meanwhile, frontier labs are pushing forward with their own self-regulatory schemes, which will ask them to agree on testing standards in a highly competitive environment.Yet even AI CEOs are more aligned with the UN than with Trump. Those surveys show worries about AI acceleration across party lines.Trump’s AI isolation from the world, and much of the electorate, puts congressional Republicans in a strange position, too.
