Sam Altman Says World Should Accept Some AI Risks For Its Benefits. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said society should accept that "some bad things" will happen in exchange for the wider benefits of artificial intelligence. Altman told POLITICO's Decoded that AI should remain broadly accessible, arguing that people will use the technology for far more good than harm. He said significant differences remain between OpenAI and rival Anthropic over regulation despite their positions becoming closer in recent months. Altman rejected the idea that powerful AI should be tightly controlled by a small number of companies to prevent hacking, scams and other misuse. However, he said he would not accept potentially catastrophic risks, including the possibility of humans suffering a serious loss of control over AI. OpenAI has recently supported tougher safety measures, including state laws imposing stricter requirements on advanced AI systems. The company has also backed a bipartisan proposal requiring leading AI developers to allow outside evaluators to assess the safety of their systems. Anthropic said its regulatory proposals apply only to frontier AI models and argued that its policies are designed to constrain leading developers while benefiting smaller competitors.
