AAPL co-founder Steve Wozniak signed a petition from the Future of Life Institute earlier this year calling for a six-month pause in the development of AI.
At a Senate hearing earlier in May, ChatGPT’s Altman acknowledged the sheer power of AI to drive adverse outcomes but said he also saw ways for governments and technologists to work together so that AI becomes a “printing-press moment.”
