OpenAI's Sam Altman admits fears of ChatGPT eliminating multiple jobs

Per BI

Sam Altman, the co-founder of OpenAI and acting CEO, has admitted that he was "a little scared" of ChatGPT, the company's chatbot, and how it could take the jobs of multiple people. Despite the fears of the tool potentially taking over jobs, he noted that it could replace them with "much better" ones.

In an interview with ABC News, Sam Altman gave a statement saying that he was "a little bit scared" of artificial intelligence's potential. He noted that the public shouldn't trust him if he said that he himself wasn't scared.

Altman: "I think if I said I were not, you should either not trust me, or be very unhappy I'm in this job... The reason to develop AI at all, in terms of impact on our lives and improving our lives and upside, this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed,"

Altman revealed that he was a regular contact with regulators and the government. He noted that government officials, regulators, and society should all be a part of the rollout of ChatGPT.

The OpenAI founder has been public about his support for regulation in artificial intelligence, calling it "critical" and saying that due to the magnitude of artificial intelligence, society would need time to adjust.

While ChatGPT3 only recently rose to popularity, OpenAI has already unveiled GPT-4, its latest model. Per the CEO, this model should be an improvement compared to earlier versions regarding creativity and being less biased.

So far, ChatGPT-4 has passed the Bar Exam in the 90th percentile. The company dubbed it a milestone regarding OpenAI's efforts in scaling deep learning.

ChatGPT-4's data is still limited to September 2021, the same as its previous models. Elon Musk recently criticized ChatGPT, calling it too "woke," and Sam Altman acknowledged the mistake and said the criticism was legitimate.
