“Why Sam Altman Believes AI Needs International Regulation – Preventing Technology From Damaging Society”

“One of my biggest fears is that we, this industry, this technology, have done significant damage to our society. If this technology goes in the wrong direction, it could go too far. We want to work with the government to prevent that from happening.”

Altman has said many times that he is in favor of a regulatory framework for AI, preferably on an international level. “I know it sounds naive to suggest something like that, it sounds very difficult” to achieve, but “there are precedents,” he explained. He referred to the example of the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA.
