OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reveals what he thinks is 'scary' about AI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the artificial intelligence lab behind ChatGPT, took questions from reporters following his congressional hearing, including defining "scary AI." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman outlined examples of "scary AI" to Fox News Digital after he served as a witness for a Senate subcommittee hearing on potential regulations on artificial intelligence. "Sure," Altman said when asked by Fox News Digital to provide an example of "scary AI." "An AI that could design novel biological pathogens. An AI that could hack into computer systems. 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." Altman appeared before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law on Tuesday morning to speak with lawmakers about how to best regulate the technology.
