DeepSeek is briefing the UN Security Council this week

“The UN Security Council put DeepSeek on the agenda. The founder isn’t even going.”

The Story

Reuters, citing two sources, says DeepSeek will be among firms briefing the UN Security Council on AI and international security this week, with Moonshot also invited. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman plans to brief the Wednesday session; diplomats also expect senior Anthropic representation. DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng is not currently expected to attend, and plans could still change. France holds the Council presidency this month. render_inline_citationcitation_id96

Why It Matters

The room that used to hear about nukes now takes statements from model labs. The weird picture is Hangzhou open-weights and Sam Altman sharing a horseshoe table.
