The OpenAI CEO said to The Atlantic that GPT and AI must be regulated to curb its more dangerous tendencies.... but he also talked about plans to build AI tools that interact with the physical world, building models that independently make scientific discoveries, and said he has no plans to slow down OpenAI’s growth.
However, Altman’s quest for regulation could limit who can work on large AI models, further entrenching the technology to only a few companies, with OpenAI chief among them.
Altman’s views about the likelihood of AI triggering a global class war, or the prudence of experimenting with more autonomous agent AIs, or the overall wisdom of looking on the bright side, a view that seems to color all the rest—these are uniquely his, and if he is right about what’s coming, they will assume an outsize influence in shaping the way that all of us live. No single person, or single company, or cluster of companies residing in a particular California valley, should steer the kind of forces that Altman is imagining summoning.
