DeepSeek to address AI safety risks at un security council meeting

On September 22, 2026, IT Home reported that Reuters cited insiders confirming that DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, will participate in a UN Security Council meeting this week to discuss AI safety risks. The meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, will involve 15 member states and focus on AI and international security. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic's senior representative were previously reported to be potential attendees. DeepSeek and Moonshot, another Chinese AI company, have been invited to speak, though founder Liang Wenfeng has no plans to attend. The UN Security Council first addressed AI risks in 2023. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned leaders about AI risks, while the U.S. President claimed current safeguards are sufficient.
