Sam Altman says 'bad things' must be accepted for AI benefits

Original: Accept 'bad things' in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman

Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, has said society should accept certain 'bad things' as the price of capturing the benefits of artificial intelligence. Writing as ChatGPT's influence continues to grow, he argues that weighing AI's risks against its rewards requires tolerating some harms. The remarks are drawing criticism from those who say tech leaders are downplaying AI's dangers.

Why now: Altman's comments on tolerating AI harms are provable debate about the technology's risks at a time of rapid rollout of ChatGPT.
