Only 6 of the 40 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
A reader who follows the left would not have seen this. We report the absence rather than explain it: outlets choose what to cover for many reasons, and we have no evidence about which one applies here.
OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman is scheduled to brief the United Nations Security Council next week. The briefing will occur during the annual gathering of world leaders in New York for the UN General Assembly. An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed the event.
The Security Council meeting is set for Wednesday and will address artificial intelligence and its implications for international security. Altman's remarks are expected to cover OpenAI's safety protocols, the worldwide benefits of AI, and the necessity for international collaboration on safety standards.
Coverage comparison
What the coverage left out
None of the reports printed below mention that Sam Altman previously warned about the risks of artificial intelligence, stating in a 2015 essay that the development of superhuman machine intelligence is 'probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity'. This detail was present in the full report from CTV News.
Coverage settled. We checked this 12 times and stopped on 24 Sept 2026, 13:16. The figures above are what it finished at.
How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.
Left
6 rated outlets
- All three left‑rated outlets reported that OpenAI chief Sam Altman will brief the United Nations Security Council in New York on Wednesday, 23 September. Each digest noted the session is organised at the initiative of France and is framed by strong concerns about artificial‑intelligence risks.
- in.gr’s full article said the UN has called for vigilance and action on AI, that the Security Council meeting is part of Assembly gathering, and that Altman’s remarks will focus on OpenAI’s safety steps and the need for coordination. It quoted a Reuters spokesperson, recalled Altman’s 2015 essay warning that super‑intelligent machines could threaten humanity, and noted the Council’s 2023 AI discussion with statements from China and the United States.
- The Le Monde and La Presse digests each led on the briefing date, New York location and French initiative but did not include the UN’s call for vigilance, the safety‑step focus, the quoted Reuters spokesperson, the reference to Altman’s 2015 warning or the 2023 Council discussion noted by in.gr. in.gr’s page also listed several unrelated Greek news items after the story, which the digests omitted.

- Of the 40 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 15% are rated left, 50% are rated centre, 35% are rated right.

- Is Sam Altman to brief UN Security Council on AI left or right?
- Neither side dominates it. Of the 40 rated outlets on this story, 15% are rated left, 50% are rated centre, 35% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided.
