Historic UN Security Council Briefing on AI (Gary Marcus)

What it is

Gary Marcus's free newsletter post on the September 23, 2026 UN Security Council briefing where Yoshua Bengio, Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Hugging Face's Clement Delangue spoke. He reprints Bengio's remarks in full (with permission) and argues the speakers agreed on pre-release safety testing, transparency audits, liability, international cooperation and immediate action.

Why I recommend it

An opinion newsletter written the same day, not a full transcript. Marcus is a long-time critic of AI companies and says the speakers agreed with points he has pushed for years, so read it as his take. Only Bengio's speech is reprinted in full.
