Dario Amodei tells UN Security Council advanced AI is "a risk to humanity as a whole"
“a risk to humanity as a whole”
Reported October 17, 2026 by stcatharinesstandard.ca. Checked word for word against that report.
Anthropic has been identified as the tenant behind a Nova Scotia AI development worth more than $10 billion, with EverWind Fuels owning and building an $8 billion-plus Cape Breton data-center site and $2 billion in added wind power. Anthropic signed a 20-year lease for a first 95-megawatt stage, targeted for late 2027 if approvals are granted, and planned capacity of 420 megawatts in 2028. The disclosure comes after Anthropic’s Dario Amodei told the UN Security Council last month that advanced AI might become dangerous on a global scale and urged international action to restrain how quickly systems are deployed; a researcher’s departure had earlier prompted industry leaders to acknowledge such risks. Canadian officials said safeguards are needed, and the deal also highlights questions about data sovereignty and domestic computing capacity.
