Sam Altman Warns AI Could Go "Very Badly": Why Are AI Leaders Slowing Down?
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has issued one of his clearest warnings yet about advanced AI.
He said losing control of the future to AI would be "unacceptable" and warned that concentrating extremely powerful AI in one company, person or country could create a dystopian outcome.
The comments follow Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call to slow the pace of frontier AI development, with Altman and Elon Musk backing greater caution.
The companies racing hardest to build AI are now openly arguing that speed itself has become a risk.

Anthropic is also preparing for a possible stock market listing, making evidence of operating profit especially important.
