"If we do too much to restrict these technologies in the name of security, we'll end up with a small number of companies or people - or perhaps one country - that have too much power over it, which could have dire consequences," Altman told Politico.
At the same time, he called on supporters of accelerating the development of AI to show restraint amid the risks of the technology getting out of control.
“When it comes to the potential for a major loss of control over AI, ... I would say to acceleration advocates: let's think a little about how we adapt this for the future,” the OpenAI chief added.
