OpenAI executive says people should not be uniformly pessimistic about AI

OpenAI pushed back against growing pessimism about artificial intelligence, with its global policy vice president Chris Lehane saying debate is swinging between exaggerated optimism and extreme pessimism. He said the industry needs to better explain how AI can help individuals, families and society. His comments come as a Pew Research survey found only 17 percent expect AI to have a positive impact on the United States over the next 20 years. OpenAI also outlined proposals to spread AI’s economic gains, while noting risks are already emerging.
