Sam Altman says 'bad things' are acceptable price for AI benefits
Original: Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has argued that society should accept 'bad things' as the cost of reaping artificial intelligence's benefits, calling for a light-touch regulatory approach because of the 'good stuff' the technology can deliver. His remarks are drawing criticism from those who see them as downplaying AI's risks, while supporters view them as pragmatic framing of a trade-off between innovation and harm.
Why now: The OpenAI boss is a central figure in the global debate over AI regulation and safety.
