OpenAI, IBM Execs Testify on AI Risks

CEO of OpenAI and creator of ChatGPT Sam Altman, testified in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing alongside IBM's AI ethics board chair Christina Montgomery and NYU professor Gary Marcus about AI and the need for regulation. Altman emphasized that AI should be seen as a tool, not a replacement for jobs, and suggested that AI models like GPT4 could make work easier for people. Montgomery acknowledged the risks that artificial intelligence poses to workers in various industries and stated that some jobs would transition away due to AI. Professor Marcus expressed skepticism about the rapid development of AI, arguing that corporations prioritize progress without enough consideration for potential dangers.
