OpenAI boss Altman warns against over-regulation of AI

Then on the small stage in Davos it’s about the safety of humanity. Industry experts expect the first steps to be taken in 2024 to limit the handling and use of artificial intelligence. These decisions could ultimately also have a significant impact on the business of Microsoft and OpenAI. For Altman, security is important, but he warned in Davos against excessive regulations as they could hinder the development of the technology. For him, security is always a negotiation between different interest groups. As with flying, which is generally considered safe, it cannot be ruled out that accidents will occur, says Altman. Rather, it would be a matter of thinking about what security standards could look like without restricting the technology too early and too quickly. In principle, however, it is important to look at the advantages of the technology and carefully weigh them up.
