OpenAI chief Altman described what 'scary' AI means to him, but ChatGPT has its own examples

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the artificial intelligence lab behind ChatGPT, took questions from reporters after his congressional hearing, including his definition of "scary AI." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified before Congress in Washington, D.C., this week about regulating artificial intelligence as well as his personal fears over the tech and what "scary" AI systems means to him. Fox News Digital asked OpenAI's wildly popular chatbot, ChatGPT, to also weigh in on examples of "scary" artificial intelligence systems, and it reported six hypothetical instances of how AI could become weaponized or have potentially harmful impacts on society. When asked by Fox News Digital on Tuesday after his testimony before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee, Altman gave examples of "scary AI" that included systems that could design "novel biological pathogens." "An AI that could hack into computer systems," he continued. "I think these are all scary. These systems can become quite powerful, which is why I was happy to be here today and why I think this is so important."
