Artificial intelligence giant OpenAI called on Monday for the United States to lead an international effort to develop global technical standards for frontier AI, including recursive self-improvement, where systems can autonomously enhance their own capabilities.
AI will be a key topic of discussion at the high-level UN General Assembly this week after several AI industry leaders - including OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman - called for a coordinated slowdown of the development of the increasingly powerful technology, warning it could soon improve on its own and slip beyond human control.
