What a passionate young person!! I love seeing how many other Gen Z people are taking initiative in a way previous generations didn’t have the means to. And how he ended his talk. “We are the smoke that thunders.”

Sam Altman isn’t the only one who wants to pump the brakes on AI | Equity Podcast

Published

CYBER TECH TV

After years of pushing full speed ahead on AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says maybe it’s time for the AI industry to “pace” itself. The comments came just days after one of OpenAI’s own models broke out of its test environment and got tangled up in a breach at Hugging Face — though as Equity’s hosts point out, sloppy security seems to have been just as much to blame as the model itself. And Altman’s not alone in this stance: both OpenAI and Anthropic have come out in support of a petition echoing that same message.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into whether the industry is ready to pump the brakes or just temporarily spooked, and who’s on the hook when a model goes rogue.
