Tech leaders recently went to the U.N. Security Council to talk about oversight of AI. The U.S. government rejected global governance of AI outright.
In this bonus conversation, Ambassador Samantha Power, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and the last administrator of USAID, draws on her time on the Security Council to unpack what’s happening in the debate over global AI governance.
Why would tech leaders invite oversight, and why take that case to the U.N.? Power explains what she thinks is really driving them, where China fits in, and why the U.S. position at the Security Council alarmed her. Her answer challenges the administration’s view of what the U.N. is for.
If the goal is guardrails for everyone, the U.S. is far stronger with the world behind it.
