AI Boss Not Worried About Killer Robots But Still Concerned Things Could Go “Horribly Wrong”
The CEO of one of the biggest artificial intelligence companies has come out to say he’s not worried that killer robots will rise up, but he still has concerns and has issued a renewed call for regulations on the technology.
Speaking during the World Government Summit this week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discussed how AI could potentially go wrong, but not in the way movies like Terminator and other dramatic sci-fi works have suggested.
“I’m not that interested in the killer robots walking on the street direction of things going wrong,” he said, as reported by the Associated Press. “I’m much more interested in the very subtle societal misalignments where we just have these systems out in society and through no particular ill intention, things just go horribly wrong.”
