OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismisses concerns over GPT-5 development.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman agrees with the safety component of a letter signed by Elon Musk and other tech leaders calling for a pause on "giant AI experiments," but says the letter wasn't the optimal way to address the issue. The letter, made by the Future of Life Institute and signed by over 1,000 people, called for a pause to develop safety protocols for advanced AI design and development that are rigorously audited and overseen by independent outside experts. People who signed the letter said that AI development overall shouldn't be paused, but called for "stepping back from the dangerous race to ever-larger unpredictable black-box models with emergent capabilities."
