Sam Altman says AI industry has failed to explain its benefits

NEW: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the AI industry has not done a good enough job explaining how the technology could benefit society.
He argues that much of the public conversation has instead focused on AI destroying jobs or even threatening humanity, making the technology sound overwhelmingly frightening.
The comments highlight a growing challenge for the AI industry as investment and adoption accelerate: convincing the public that the potential economic and productivity benefits outweigh the risks.
