OpenAI CEO and ChatGPT creator Sam Altman granted a lengthy one-on-one interview to ABC News , released last week during its evening news show, in which he discussed the future of his company’s AI tech in lofty terms — “this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed” — while emphasizing society’s need to adapt or otherwise ready itself for terrible outcomes.
