Sam Altman Warns AI Could Go Badly Without Strong Human Safeguards
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has responded to renewed concerns about advanced artificial intelligence, warning that the technology could go badly if people lose control of its development. He identified two major risks: AI becoming more capable than the safeguards meant to manage it, and immense power being concentrated in the hands of one person or company. Altman said AI must remain aligned with human interests and should serve people. His comments followed criticism from former AI researcher Jacob Coxon, who accused leading AI companies of moving too quickly towards self-improving systems. Altman said progress should continue, but at a pace that keeps safety measures and oversight ahead of AI capabilities.
