Technology Desk: As fast as Artificial Intelligence i.e. AI is progressing, questions are also being raised about its dangers. AI company Anthropic has also expressed concern over its increasing power and potential risks. Now OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has also said something about the future of AI, which has sparked a new debate in the world of technology. Altman says that if there is even a slight serious possibility of AI posing a major threat to humans, then it cannot be ignored.

Tech giants worried about the fast pace of AI

Many big names in the world of technology have also expressed concern about this. Tesla and xAI chief Elon Musk and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella have expressed their consent. Now Sam Altman has expressed his views about the fast pace of AI and the possible dangers associated with it.

OpenAI will not launch IPO in 2026?

Sam Altman has said in an interview with business magazine Fortune that OpenAI does not plan to launch an IPO in 2026. Concern about the security of AI is also said to be an important reason behind the company's decision.

Giving a very serious example, Altman said that if there is only a 10 percent risk of human extinction by the end of this decade due to AI, then this risk cannot be accepted.

However, Altman also clarified that he himself does not know whether the 10 percent figure is correct or not. But according to him, the real thing is that the threat is serious and along with AI companies, governments should also be very cautious about it.

He said whether the risk is 10 per cent, 8 per cent or 6 per cent – ​​if the risk exists then safety has to be kept at the top. Profit at any cost cannot be more important than the safety of AI.

Questions have already been raised on the speed of AI

Many experts have already expressed concern about the rapid development of AI. Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon had described AI as very dangerous and warned of the possible harm it could cause to humanity in the future.

Now Sam Altman's statement has further fueled this debate. The special thing is that even among the big names of the AI ​​​​industry, there is a growing discussion on how to strike the right balance between the speed of developing AI and its security.

Sam Altman said in his recent post on

He said that the pace of progress of AI has now become very fast. In such a situation, every lab working on Frontier AI will have to live up to the trust of the people. If companies cannot do this, there is no point in their working.

Uniform security rules are necessary for Frontier AI

Altman has also advocated creating uniform protection rules for frontier AI. He said OpenAI would welcome federal legislation that sets uniform security standards for frontier AI.

However, he says that companies should not just wait for government legislation to win people's trust. AI companies themselves will have to act responsibly.

According to him, it would be a good step to have uniform rules to deal with the potential dangers of Frontier AI. This will enable the benefits of AI to reach more and more people as well as reduce its risks.

Responsibility will increase as AI progresses

The speed with which AI has started changing the world is expected to bring huge benefits in the future. But there are risks also associated with it. This is why now the question is not only how far AI will go, but also how safe it can be kept.

Sam Altman's latest statement points towards this changing thinking – the speed of AI may be fast, but the safety of humans should be even more important.
