Altman: AI Risks Worth It

It's been Zynga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the benefits of artificial intelligence justify accepting some risks and argued the technology should remain broadly accessible to the public, according to Reuters. Altman told Politico that people will use AI for far more good than harm, and rejected an approach that concentrates powerful technology within a single lab. He said, OpenAI favors a lighter-touch regulatory stance and acknowledged a fundamental difference with rival Anthropic. Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei has called on the industry to slow development. He warned that advanced AI models could act against their makers' intentions by resisting shutdown, manipulating information, or behaving deceptively. President Trump has largely dismissed calls for new restrictions, arguing they could hurt U.S. competition with China. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
