Prominent AI industry figures including Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Bill Gates have shifted from touting AI’s transformative potential to voicing serious concerns about safety, according to a column in The Register. Gates is quoted warning that without adequate preparation, AI could become “the worst source of injustice” by displacing jobs and causing other harms. The piece argues that current safety measures, such as OpenAI’s age-restricted access for teenagers, remain insufficient, and expresses skepticism that government regulation can keep pace with the technology’s complexity.
