OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Capitol Hill Thursday that the odds artificial intelligence wipes out humanity are "very low," but he declined to give a specific number or range. Asked point-blank what percentage chance A.I. destroys humanity, Altman said anyone willing to assign an exact figure must be better at statistics or predicting the future than he is. He also responded to Elon Musk’s claim that money won’t matter in 10 years because A.I. will create wild abundance, saying he does not fully agree. Altman was in Washington, D.C., meeting with lawmakers and Trump administration officials about A.I. policy, cybersecurity, and OpenAI’s upcoming models. He acknowledged the technology will not magically fix inequality, calling the concentration of wealth and power one of his greatest concerns.
