Three different paths
According to The Decoder, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman laid out three possible scenarios for AI safety in an internal presentation. The first is an international oversight mechanism modeled after the IAEA in the nuclear field.
The second option is a merger of major AI labs into a single organization. The third is the emergence of one company powerful enough to halt the computing power of all other firms.
Called "terrible"
Altman reportedly described the last option as "terrible." This suggests that absolute power over the industry by a single actor is seen as an undesirable outcome.
The details of the presentation and the context in which Altman discussed these scenarios remain unclear. The report is based on an internal presentation, not an official OpenAI announcement.
