Reports prior to Altman’s visit suggested that the CEO would inform politicians that ChatGPT is already a vital resource for users in America and around the globe. Altman would recognize the threat AI poses to employment, but emphasize the long-term advantages of making AI accessible to all, adopting a balanced viewpoint.
The intentions of OpenAI are clear. The organization requires government backing to develop even more advanced iterations of ChatGPT on the path towards superintelligence. This entails everything from incentives to enhance AI infrastructure domestically to more lenient AI regulations that would enable quicker advancements in the sector. This latter aspect, however, seems to contradict Altman’s statements made at the Federal Reserve on Tuesday.
The CEO confessed he is deeply concerned about AI’s ability to mimic humans, issuing a warning about a potential “fraud crisis” caused by AI. He is also apprehensive about malicious individuals exploiting AI superintelligence before society can implement protective measures.
