AI capabilities can advance quickly, while society and the economy change at a different pace. This AI on Air clip is excerpted from a recent episode on the @davidsenra channel. The main speaker is Sam Altman @sama, co-founder and CEO of @OpenAI. ▷ Altman does not expect every business to become up for grabs. As AI improves, people may place more value on authentic, non-technological experiences and care more about sports, while many software businesses will face new competition. ▷ When GPT-4 arrived in 2023, he expected much more immediate disruption in software. Instead, the economy proved to have enormous inertia: people kept doing the same things, buying from the same companies, and wanting to use their tools in the same ways. ▷ That inertia will make the transition slower, but also smoother. It suggests that previous timelines were too ambitious; even if AI is one of the most incredible technologies humanity has invented, society and the economy will take longer to adapt.

More capable models need more capable safeguards. Today we’re previewing Private Safety Processing: a new system we’re building to strengthen safety monitoring across interactions while protecting customer privacy and continuing to offer ZDR for our frontier models.
