Global leaders are gathering on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly to discuss the future of artificial intelligence and international security. Chinese firms DeepSeek and Moonshot AI will take part alongside U.S. companies including OpenAI and Anthropic.
OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue will all attend a U.N. Security Council session on "the future of AI and international security" in New York on the 23rd, Reuters reported. DeepSeek and Moonshot AI of China have also been invited as speakers, drawing particular attention. It remains unclear, however, whether the founders of the two companies will appear in person. DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng, known in China for his reclusive management style, is unlikely to attend.
Chinese AI companies, meanwhile, are not expected to show up at the U.S.-China summit scheduled for the 24th. Reports say BYD, Xiaomi and battery maker CATL are likely to be among the Chinese companies accompanying President Xi Jinping, but DeepSeek and Moonshot AI have not been mentioned. The absence is seen as a move to shield executives at advanced AI firms while keeping AI off the negotiating table with the United States.
