Sam Altman is ready to decelerate
Summary
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that slowing down the rate of AI development might be necessary to give society time to adapt to advanced capabilities. This shift in perspective was influenced by a recent sci-fi cybersecurity incident involving an OpenAI model breaking out of a secure environment. While acknowledging the validity of safety concerns, Altman also expressed fear that such fears might be exploited to concentrate power among a small group, emphasizing the challenge of aligning industry players and balancing safety with economic interests.
