Altman stated on Tuesday at the Salesforce Dreamforce conference in San Francisco that he believes the AI industry has the capability to advance technology safely without causing significant harm, and expressed dissatisfaction with the external framing of discussions around AI safety. He acknowledged the potential dangers of AI, called for the industry to establish a transparent accident reporting mechanism similar to the aviation industry, and said that if safe advancement is not possible, companies should be prepared to "slow down or even stop." Altman also cited social media as an example, emphasizing that technology governance requires shared responsibility among parents, businesses, and governments.
