‘People should always be in control of the future’: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on superintelligent AI

Picture: Storyboard18

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said that human control must remain a defining principle in the development of superintelligent artificial intelligence (AI), arguing that technological progress should be restricted if it threatens people's ability to shape their own future. In a post on X, Altman said, “People should always be in control of the future.” He added that humans should not hand over control to superintelligent systems and that this principle should ultimately determine the limits of AI development. Altman also pushed back against a future in which people are left performing tasks that AI systems consider deserving of rewards, emphasising that advanced AI should not dictate how humans live or make decisions. His comments echo remarks made at the Adipec energy conference in Abu Dhabi on November 2.
