Sam Altman says AI gains justify accepting some risks
Livemint··5 Oct
OpenAI chief Sam Altman said AI benefits justify accepting some risks and keeping access broad, Reuters reported via Livemint. He told Politico's Decoded the world should accept some bad outcomes for public agency. He called one-lab control unacceptable versus OpenAI's lighter regulatory stance. Altman said users would do far more good than harm despite scams and misuse.
