OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday that artificial intelligence stands at a critical crossroads, carrying the potential to drive either unprecedented global progress or severe societal disruption.

Addressing world leaders during a high-level briefing in New York, Altman emphasized that rapid technological advances could serve as a modern renaissance for human creativity and problem-solving, or mirror an industrial revolution defined by upheaval and disarray.

He urged international policymakers to adopt extreme care, strong safety standards, and coordinated global oversight to ensure advanced systems remain under human control as capabilities accelerate.
