Regarding the risks of AI, Altman said that some people are right to be cautious about AI and that the technology is very powerful.
However, it is precisely because AI will profoundly reshape the way humans live and work and change the operation of social economy.Altman believes that the current "iterative deployment" model is needed to promote AI to the world as soon as possible.This means that humans have time to adapt to a society with AI and to make suggestions and recommendations during testing, preparing for the inevitable and massive changes.
