DeSantis Blasts Sam Altman for Saying World Should Accept ‘some Bad Things Happening’ in Exchange for Benefits of AI

Altman said society may need to accept some harms for AI’s benefits, drawing criticism as lawsuits and military errors raise safety concerns.

Summary
Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to express concerns with the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence in contrast to President Donald Trump, whose approach to the burgeoning technology is mostly to use existing rules to push for the nation’s dominance in the field. Speaking in West Palm Beach on Tuesday, DeSantis criticized recent comments by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the artificial intelligence research company behind ChatGPT, who said in an interview with Politico the world should accept “some bad things happening” in exchange for the benefits provided by AI. “I didn’t think he got elected to make that decision for us, thank you very much,” DeSantis said. “And I think we should be as citizens looking to make sure that we’re protecting people from potential harm as the technology develops.”
