WORLD GOVERNMENT SUMMIT: talk about about what is the most thing that you fear when it comes to um the deployment of AI and the most thing your opportune you’re optimistic about.
ALTMAN. like if I’m going to tell you what keeps you up at night and what keeps you going in the morning give me one reason for that and one reason for the other um the keep up at night is easy it’s all of the Sci-Fi stuff uh you know I think sci-fi writers are a very smart bunch and in in the Decades of sci-fi about AI uh there have been unbelievably creative ways to imagine that how this can go wrong and I think most of them are like comical but there are some things in there that are easy to imagine where things really go wrong and I’m not that interested in like the Killer Robots walking down the street direction of things going wrong I’m much more interested in the like very subtle societal misalignments where we just have these systems out in society and
through no particular ill intention um things just go horribly wrong but the thing that wake me up in the morning with energy every day is what I actually believe is things are just going to go tremendously right we got to work hard to mitigate all of the the downside cases they are I think very significant and and and real potentials to confront but the reason that we go think so hard about how to deploy this technology safely uh is the upside is is remarkable.
