On October 5, 2026, during an interview, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, pointed out that there exist fundamental disparities between OpenAI and its rival Anthropic concerning the regulation of artificial intelligence. Altman is of the opinion that the immense value delivered by AI technology warrants society's willingness to shoulder certain risks. He advocates for the continued broad availability of AI to the general public, rather than allowing it to be monopolized by a select few laboratories. He underscored his stance that he cannot condone dystopian catastrophes, such as a "grave future loss of control" or an excessive concentration of power within the realm of AI.
