OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said people are justified in being afraid of the risks posed by rapidly advancing artificial intelligence, but urged the public to trust AI companies to act responsibly. Speaking at a Salesforce conference in San Francisco, Altman said OpenAI and other firms should keep safety and alignment ahead of AI capabilities and slow down or stop if they cannot. His comments come as concerns grow over potential AI risks and calls for stronger regulation. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang backed industry-led safety decisions, while Senator Bernie Sanders and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon argued that greater government oversight is needed. (PC: BBC)
