OpenAI CEO: regulation can go wrong, but you shouldn't be afraid

Beijing time on the evening of September 25, it is reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently said in public that regulation may go wrong, but regulation is very important and should not be feared. AI is becoming more and more popular, there are concerns in many countries around the world, and there are strong calls for stronger regulation.

Altman believes that excessive government regulation is entirely possible, but he is not worried. "I am also worried that regulation is not in place," Altman said. "A lot of people in the AI industry are attacking regulation, but we are calling for regulation, but only for the most powerful systems." He added: "models that are 10, 000 times stronger than GPT4 and as smart as human civilization may need to be more regulated."

Altman believes that regulation can bring benefits in many ways. For example, taking a plane, it is precisely because there is supervision that it will not worry about its safety. Of course, regulation can go wrong, but such mistakes should not be feared.
