O
penAI’s CEO Sam Altman on Wednesday sought to reassure governments that the creator of ChatGPT would endeavor “to make the system as democratic as possible,” amid widespread fears that the artificial intelligence (AI) software was disrupting entire industries and taking away jobs from ordinary humans.
The immensely popular ChatGPT software has recently made it into the workflow of many industries around the world, prompting weary discussions and even an open letter expressing anxiety that AI was advancing too fast.
Responding to such concerns, Altman said that OpenAI has been taking steps to ensure that the decision to write the rules of the AI game would not be left to the firm alone.
“Our plan [is] to try to hand this decision-making over democratically to the world and respect different legal frameworks,” he told a packed public forum in Jakarta.
“Who decides what values we’re gonna align these systems to? Who decides what the outer bounds are and what an AI will do and not do? [...] Who decides what the default is going to be? Within these wide bounds, different countries can have different rules.”
