Sam Altman Says OpenAI's Goal Is to Build AGI for the Broad Benefit of Humanity
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the heavy criticism surrounding the concentration of power as the company develops increasingly capable artificial intelligence systems.
Altman acknowledged that both the praise and criticism directed at him likely contain elements of truth, rejecting any attempt to reduce himself or OpenAI to a simple, one-dimensional narrative. He reiterated that OpenAI's core mission remains focused on building artificial general intelligence (AGI), ensuring its safety, and distributing its benefits broadly across humanity.
