Sam Altman likens AI’s potential future to a Renaissance
Sam Altman says AI should give people more power over their lives rather than turn them into cogs in a machine.
Sam Altman has argued that while AI is often compared with an industrial revolution, its most promising outcome is not to make people cogs in a machine.
He said that, if its development goes well, AI’s future could resemble a Renaissance more than an industrial revolution, giving people more power in their lives. This is Altman’s vision for the technology rather than a certain prediction of its effects.
