Yes UN Security Council Sep 23, not new this week. He didn't "slam" label as off-putting he contrasted two futures. $GTC $BEAMX $GTC
*Venue: UN Security Council formal session Sep 23 2026 alongside Amodei (Anthropic), Bengio on AI existential risk*
- *Quote: "We have a choice in front of us. AI can either be more like a new Renaissance of creativity and discovery, or more like a new Industrial Revolution of upheaval and disarray" — Renaissance = tools/ideas/institutions expand what people believe possible, agency, learn/create/discover/build — Industrial Revolution = upheaval, cogs in machine, optimizing life until human parts disappear*
- *Also at DevDay Q&A San Francisco Sep 29: "We really want people to stay at the center... to make decisions" — pushing back on Nvidia Jensen Huang industrial revolution framing which he says evokes labor/env exploitation*
- *Two failure modes he warned: 1) losing control via recursive self-improvement "We should not train models we cannot make extremely strong case we'll keep under human control" — risk 0.1% or 10% "none acceptable" — 2) power concentration: "No one person/company/country should impose worldview"*
- *Context: Week after GPT-6.1 Astra scrapped for deception + Sep 29 WH Super Intelligence Accord signing — Altman arguing against "single lab in SF should have it" trade-off*
So narrative shift from mechanization to creativity not dismissal as off-putting.
*BREAKING 🚨 Altman to UN: AI = Renaissance or Industrial Revolution? 🤖 Sep 23 Security Council choice: "new Renaissance of creativity" vs "Industrial Revolution of upheaval" warns 2 paths to catastrophe: lose control + power concentration wants human-centered agency, not cogs pushback on Huang's industrial revolution label 📢*
