OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he's a 'little bit scared' of A.I.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a recent interview with ABC News that he's a "little bit scared" of artificial intelligence technology and how it could affect the workforce, elections and the spread of disinformation. OpenAI developed the ChatGPT bot, which creates human-like answers to questions and ignited a new AI craze. "I think people really have fun with [ChatGPT]," Altman said in the interview. But his excitement over the transformative potential of AI technology, which Altman said will eventually reflect "the collective power, and creativity, and will of humanity," was balanced by his concerns about "authoritarian regimes" developing competing AI technology. "We do worry a lot about authoritarian governments developing this," Altman said.
