Get smart on it
The CEO of OpenAI addressed the United Nations Security Council on artificial intelligence, discussing both its potential benefits and risks. He argued that AI should expand human capability and remain under human control rather than concentrate power or move faster than people can understand. The remarks outlined concerns about AI systems that could improve themselves, emphasizing that companies should not accept technological risks simply for competitive advantage, and that the technology must be developed to empower people rather than replace human judgment.
