OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has sparked backlash after arguing that society should accept some of the harms caused by AI in exchange for the technology's wider benefits. Speaking on Politico's Decoded podcast, Altman said he would not expect AI to eliminate threats including hacks, misuse and scams, arguing that the technology could ultimately do far more good. His comments come amid growing debate over AI safety and scrutiny of OpenAI, following recent concerns from former staff about the company's approach to risk. #openAI #samaltman #technology #AI #news
