OpenAI's Sam Altman says AI is a tool, not a 'creature'

There are "risks" to artificial intelligence, but calling AI a "creature" is the stuff of sci-fi movies, Sam Altman told The Advocate.

In an interview with The Advocate, an LGBTQ+ news publication, the OpenAI CEO said that one of the "biggest misconceptions" about AI is that it is often thought of as a "creature" rather than a "tool." According to The Wall Street Journal, Altman and OpenAI CSO Jason Kwon sent a memo to staff on Friday saying, "We believe the claims in this suit may stem from Elon's regrets about not being involved with the company today." Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands' reporting.
