OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has drawn scrutiny from across the political spectrum for his take on the future of AI.
On a recent podcast, Altman attempted to distance himself from more pro-regulation AI companies, such as Anthropic, arguing that society must think about the tradeoffs associated with slowing down AI advancement. "I think one of the biggest differences between us and some of the stricter, let's say, AI safety people, is we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology," he said.
