OpenAI and Anthropic chiefs asked UN for AI safety standards; US refused

On September 23, 2026, the heads of OpenAI, Anthropic and Hugging Face, joined by Yoshua Bengio, urged the UN Security Council to adopt international AI safety standards and incident reporting. The US delegation rejected new global governance at the same forum. A day earlier both labs shipped cheaper frontier models: GPT-6 Sol and Luna at roughly 50% below GPT-5.6 pricing, and Claude Opus 5.5 about 40% cheaper to run than Opus 5.
