Sam Altman's Statement on Artificial Intelligence: They Are Right to Be Afraid
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that fear stemming from the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is justified, while asking the public not to worry and to place their trust in the process.
Speaking at a Salesforce conference in San Francisco, OpenAI executive Sam Altman acknowledged that fears regarding rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology are not unfounded, but emphasized that industry leaders can manage the safe development process.
They Are Right to Fear Artificial Intelligence
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the real fear surrounding artificial intelligence models and the excessive power gained by those who produce them during a Salesforce conference held in San Francisco.
Altman stated that the world is right to fear these developments, adding that he has extreme confidence in the industry's capacity to deliver technology aligned with human values.
Emphasis on Trust and Responsibility
Underlining that the world should trust that the right thing will be done and that the magnitude of the issue is recognized, Altman asked for leaders to be supported for a safe future.
