OpenAI CEO Sam Altman agrees with President Donald Trump’s ‘image warning’ for AI companies; and is worried that nobody knows what to do about it

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman agrees that artificial intelligence (AI) companies are facing challenges in gaining public trust. Speaking at the BlackRock Infrastructure Summit, the chief executive of the company behind ChatGPT said he shares the concerns raised by US President Donald Trump that AI companies are facing growing public scepticism. Altman said AI is increasingly being blamed for issues ranging from layoffs to rising electricity prices, even when the connection may not always be clear. At the same time, he acknowledged that the technology could alter the long-standing balance between labour and capital, creating uncertainty about the future of work, but he is concerned that nobody knows what to do about it.
