AI scientist Yoshua Bengio warns UN Security Council that AI risks are imminent

Bengio's appearance before the Security Council matters less as a technical warning than as a shift in venue: frontier AI risk is being framed as a security matter rather than a purely scientific or commercial one. That framing tends to pull in governments and multilateral bodies that move slowly but set norms, and it puts AI alongside other threats the council already treats as its remit. The open question is whether this stays a listening exercise or produces any formal mechanism.
