OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has outlined three possible scenarios for the future of artificial intelligence, ranging from an international watchdog overseeing advanced AI systems to a unified research organisation bringing leading AI labs under one roof. The third possibility involves a single company gaining overwhelming computational power and eliminating its rivals, a scenario Altman reportedly described as “terrible”. According to The Latin Times, which reported on October 19, 2026, citing an internal presentation to OpenAI employees, Altman discussed these possibilities as competing approaches to governing the development of increasingly powerful AI systems. The discussion comes as technology companies and policymakers grapple with questions around AI safety, accountability and the risks of an uncontrolled race towards superintelligence.
