– Sam Altman says AI is not ‘a creature from a science fiction movie’
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has expressed his views on artificial intelligence (AI), describing it as a tool and not an “organism”.

“If it was a creature in a sci-fi movie, it would be a better plot. If you use ChatGPT, it’s clearly a tool,” he said. The 38-year-old American businessman added that “the popular view of AI as seen in science fiction movies is very different from those who have been using it as a tool for a long time”.
Sam Altman admits that using this tool comes with risks. “But AI has a different shape and different nature,” the OpenAI CEO added.
This statement causes less panic than Sam Altman’s previous warnings.
