Anthony Albanese has lamented a "breakdown of international rules" in a UN speech naming climate change and AI as global challenges, just two days after Donald Trump told the same forum that both concerns were a "hoax".

The prime minister's speech also doubled as a pitch for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, where Mr Albanese said Australia hoped to help safeguard international law.

AI and climate change were the issues that demanded global cooperation, Mr Albanese said, despite the "breakdown of trust, civility and social cohesion" that was promoting conflict within and between countries.

Mr Albanese delivered his speech in New York as Mr Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping at a state dinner at the White House.

During an earlier meeting, Mr Xi told Mr Trump that the superpower countries had a responsibility to "develop and manage AI for good".

Australia has nominated for a seat on the Security Council in 2029-2030.

If successful in its bid, Australia would use the position to "amplify the voices of small states and middle powers", Mr Albanese said.
