OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said AI’s benefits justify accepting some risks while keeping the technology broadly available, outlining a fundamental divide with Anthropic over how the technology should be regulated.

Altman characterized the opposing view as giving a San Francisco lab control of AI to prevent harm, then finding a way to distribute its benefits. He called that trade-off unacceptable.

Altman argued that people would use AI for good by an order of magnitude more than for harm.
