OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has called for the establishment of a global regulatory body to oversee artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai, Altman expressed his concerns about potential societal misalignments caused by AI and emphasized the need for international cooperation in developing regulations.
Altman clarified that his focus is not on 'killer robots walking down the street,' but rather the subtle but significant impact that AI could have on society. He suggested that a global system, similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), could ensure appropriate auditing and safety measures before deploying powerful AI systems with global influence.
