‘I don’t sleep that well at night’: Sam Altman after ChatGPT blamed for 16-year-old boy’s death

Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, has said that he “doesn’t sleep that well at night,” citing the heavy ethical and moral weight of leading a company whose AI chatbot is used by hundreds of millions of people daily. In a wide-ranging interview, he said that his biggest concern is those small decisions on model behaviour that can have immense real-world consequences.

“Look, I don’t sleep that well at night. There’s a lot of stuff that I feel a lot of weight on, but probably nothing more than the fact that every day, hundreds of millions of people talk to our model,” Altman said in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
