OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admits that AI's benefits may not be widely distributed | TechCrunch
Briefly

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman proposes a 'compute budget' to ensure widespread AI access and benefits, acknowledging the potential for inequality as AI reshapes the job market. He warns of risks including mass unemployment if governments do not adapt policies accordingly. Altman reiterates the imminent development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and highlights the need for human oversight. He emphasizes that while AGI systems will excel in many areas, they will not be universally effective, suggesting a future where numerous AI systems collaborate across various fields.
In particular, it does seem like the balance of power between capital and labor could easily get messed up, and this may require early intervention.
[AGI systems] will not have the biggest new ideas, and it will be great at some things but surprisingly bad at others.
