South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung chaired a Security Council open debate on AI and international peace and security on 24 September 2025, the Council’s third formal meeting on AI after July 2023 and December 2024. Briefers were Secretary-General António Guterres, Yoshua Bengio and Yejin Choi; Guterres repeated his call for a binding ban on lethal autonomous weapons without human control by 2026, and the US spoke against centralised global control of AI.

Why it matters

Military and security uses of AI stayed on the Security Council agenda, with member states split on any binding limits for autonomous weapons.
