00:00OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman says artificial intelligence should remain widely available despite the risk it poses.
00:08Speaking to Politico's technology newsletter Decoded, he says it is unrealistic to prevent every hack, scam or instance of AI
00:16misuse.
00:19Altman said that people would use the technology to do far more good than harm.
00:23He also rejected the idea that one company should control powerful AI and decide who can benefit from it.
00:29His comments come amid debate over how quickly companies should develop more capable systems and what safeguards they should put
00:36in place.
00:37US President Donald Trump has resisted calls for new restrictions, saying they could weaken American companies in their competition with
00:45Chinese rivals.
00:46Trump said existing law enforcement agencies, including the Justice Department, provide sufficient safeguards.
