Khaberni - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, developer of the famous chatbot "Chat GPT", spoke candidly in a new interview about his concerns about artificial intelligence with broadcaster Laurie Segall, saying he hopes she hasn't allowed her son to use this technology yet.
Altman appeared in the Thursday episode of the "Mostly Human" program, where Segall asked him about his concerns regarding parenting in the context of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence, stating that it "is perhaps the most risky thing" she could think of.
Segall said: "We both are raising young boys," adding, "And I think I told you this before, we are raising young boys, but in reality, you are also raising my son. The technology you will develop will be integrated into every aspect of my son Charlie's life," according to a report seen by "Arabia Business" by "Fox News".
Altman, who became a father last year, replied: "I hope you don't allow him to use it yet," referring to artificial intelligence technology.
She responded: "I will never allow him to use it. When will you allow your son to use it?"
Altman said: "Not now," explaining that he is constantly asked now that he is a father and plans to have more children: "Do you feel a greater responsibility towards how to avoid destroying the world with artificial intelligence?"
He added: "My top priority is not to destroy the world with artificial intelligence, because no matter how good everything else is, if we do that, it will be worthless."
"OpenAI" developed the chatbot "Chat GPT", which had a significant impact in the artificial intelligence boom this decade, and its popularity and widespread use, as well as questions about its reliability, led to debates about the ethics of its use and potential risks.
Altman remarked that he often thinks about the world in which his children will grow up, to the extent that he was writing letters every night so that his young children can read what he was thinking when they grow up and are able to appreciate his thoughts. He added that he was eventually advised by his lawyers to stop this practice.
Altman pointed out that this particular aspect of technology is what concerned him as a father.
He said: "What has changed significantly is my feeling towards algorithmic outcomes and iPads in the hands of young children and things like that, and when I see slightly older children than mine you cannot take the tablet away from them," noting that this matter greatly concerns him.
While expressing his happiness that his son will grow up in a world where computers are smarter than him and can do whatever he wants, he said: "I want him to play in the dirt right now."
