Sam Altman's AI fears and worries
Talking about the impact of AI on the society in general and the job market, Altman said, “The part that I find potentially a little scary is just the speed with which society is going to have to adapt and that the labor market will change,” Altman said. Altman previously said that “the hypothetical idea that we already have done something really bad by launching ChatGPT” is something that bothers him.
"Although we are giving something up here, in some sense we are going to have things that are smarter than us," he told tech mogul Bill Gates during a recent podcast conversation, “If we can get into this world of post scarcity, we will find new things to do.”
Altman said that AI will lead to a society in which workers will be able to do more things for the same amount of money, making them more productive. "If you make a programmer three times more effective, it's not just that they can write, they can do three times more stuff, it's that they can... think of totally different things," he said.
Altman and Gates also discussed the topic of regulatory and ethical constraints, exploring calls for a cohesive global regulatory framework for AI. Considering the expansive impact of advanced AI systems.... "For these... future extraordinarily powerful systems, we have been socializing the idea of a global regulatory body," he said.
