OpenAI's Altman says AI benefits warrant accepting some risks
Altman said OpenAI would not trade away AI’s benefits for zero misuse, even as the company faces fresh safety concerns.
- OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman told Decoded that AI benefits justify accepting some risks, distinguishing his firm's regulatory stance from rival Anthropic on the technology's accessibility and control.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently advocated that the industry should 'pace the frontier' to mitigate dangers, warning in September that advanced models could exhibit 'self-preserving behaviors' and 'resist shutdown.'
- 'I think there's a lot of daylight,' Altman said, rejecting centralized control and calling that model 'a completely unacceptable trade-off' restricting public access to AI benefits.
- Despite Altman's stated philosophy, OpenAI recently endorsed a bipartisan House proposal requiring outside safety evaluators and supported new state laws imposing stricter safety requirements than previously favored.
- President Donald Trump has largely dismissed calls for new restrictions, arguing they would hinder American companies competing against Chinese rivals while maintaining that existing Justice Department agencies provide sufficient safeguards.
