Summary · why it matters

OpenAI on the 21st called for the United States to take a leading role in an international effort to set global technical standards for cutting-edge AI. The standards would cover "recursive self-improvement," in which AI systems autonomously enhance their own capabilities. AI is expected to be a major agenda item at this week's high-level meeting of the UN General Assembly, where several AI industry leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, have warned that AI could soon improve itself beyond human control and are calling for a coordinated slowdown in the technology's development. In a blog post published ahead of the UN meeting, OpenAI said it is essential to build mechanisms that complement national and international frontier standards, along with common measurement methods and incident reporting procedures, writing that "seizing the initiative now will determine whether the United States shapes the global AI framework, or whether it stands by as a fragmented, uneven, and conflict-ridden system takes hold around it." The industry has been debating a deliberate slowdown in development, so-called "pacing," and OpenAI said that "pacing AI development does not mean maintaining a predetermined speed." Altman is scheduled on the 23rd to brief the 15-member UN Security Council on AI and international security.

Trump Completely Rejects International AI Regulation, to Rename It 'Super Intelligence'

In a speech at the United Nations General Assembly on the 22nd, U.S. President Trump declared that he completely rejects any attempt to build an internationalist framework to regulate artificial intelligence. Amid rising global calls for slowing development and establishing international rules as safeguards against the threats posed by AI, he made clear his intention to push development forward regardless. The president also indicated a policy of calling AI 'Super Intelligence' (SI), stating that U.S. government documents would be changed to use the SI designation. He explained the reason: 'The word artificial makes the intelligence sound fake.'

OpenAI Seeks $1.2 Trillion Valuation in New Funding Round

OpenAI, the AI partner of Microsoft, is reportedly seeking a valuation above US$1.2 trillion in a new funding round. The AI group is forecast to burn roughly US$278 billion in cash as it scales infrastructure and product development with Microsoft support. The prospective deal would reinforce OpenAI's role inside Microsoft's broader AI ecosystem, spanning Azure infrastructure and Copilot branded services. The funding push backs the view that rich AI workloads can keep Azure traffic and Copilot adoption growing, while also sharpening questions about capital intensity and dependency on a few large AI partners.

China Opens Probe Into DeepSeek and Moonshot AI Over Suspected Leak of Classified Data

China's Cyberspace Administration has launched an investigation into Chinese startups DeepSeek and Moonshot AI over suspicions that state secrets were leaked to U.S. AI companies. The U.S. tech outlet The Information reported on the 22nd that Chinese authorities began the probe amid concerns over "distillation," in which the outputs of high-performance American AI models are used to train Chinese AI systems. According to a report published by U.S. AI startup Anthropic, DeepSeek and Moonshot sent users' questions to Anthropic's cutting-edge Claude model without authorization and used its answers to train their own models. The data involved also included internal information from the Chinese People's Liberation Army, public security authorities, and state-owned enterprises. The Trump administration and U.S. national security and investigative authorities have sharply condemned distillation. Ahead of the U.S.-China summit on the 24th, the issue of data security has come into sharp relief.
