Asked by Brendan Bordelon where he disagrees with Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Altman said a fundamental difference in worldview remains. He rejected conditions that large-scale hacking, misuse, fraud, and other wrongdoing never occur, while calling a serious loss of control over AI unacceptable.","whyItMatters":"OpenAI has moved toward Anthropic's call to slow AI development after recent security problems, but Altman is drawing the line at any pledge that misuse will never happen, which keeps the two labs' positions apart.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAltman framed the split as one of worldview rather than policy detail. He said he understands the argument that AI is dangerous enough that one company should hold it, manage it, and decide how the benefits are distributed, and that he considers that argument incompatible with the light-touch regulation OpenAI advocates.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis stated limit is the guarantee itself. Altman said he cannot agree to conditions promising that large-scale hacking, misuse, fraud, and other wrongdoing will never occur, because he believes people will do far more good than bad. Catastrophic risks, including a serious loss of control over AI, he called unacceptable.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Altman's split with Amodei is narrower than the framing suggests: both accept AI risk, they differ on whether certain harms are tolerable at all. Altman names hacking, fraud, and misuse as the acceptable category.","twitterPost":"Altman's line is not pro-harm. It draws a boundary: hacking and fraud are tolerable costs, loss of control is not.","threadsPost":"The divide Altman draws with Amodei is a threshold question, not a risk-versus-safety one. Altman names hacking, misuse, and fraud as outcomes he will not rule out, while calling serious loss of control unacceptable. That is a policy on which harms count as tolerable, not a claim that AI is safe.","newsletterBlurb":"In an interview with POLITICO's Decoded, Sam Altman said the world should accept that some bad things will happen because of AI. Asked by Brendan Bordelon where he diverges from Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Altman described a fundamental worldview difference even as OpenAI has come to agree with slowing AI development. He rejected guarantees that misuse would never occur, while calling a serious loss of control unacceptable.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"GIGAZINE\",\"url\":\"https://gigazine.net/news/20261005-sam-altman-talk-to-decoded/\",\"title\":\"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Says 'We Should Accept Some Bad Things' for the Benefits of AI\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4665,"outputTokens":567,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1791264142,"createdAt":"2026-10-06T05:21:03.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-06T05:21:12.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-06T05:21:12.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_f4eec6e0f13e117884281fd5","canonicalTitle":"OpenAIのサム・アルトマンCEOが「AIの恩恵に預かるために多少の悪いことは受けれるべき」との見解を示す","representativeArticleId":"a_7bc952208567e7d19fad6210","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[],\"studios\":[\"OpenAI\"],\"people\":[\"Sam Altman\"],\"type\":\"news\",\"domain\":\"industry\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-05T05:30:00.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-05T05:30:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-06T05:21:06.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"GIGAZINE","url":"https://gigazine.net/news/20261005-sam-altman-talk-to-decoded/","title":"OpenAIのサム・アルトマンCEOが「AIの恩恵に預かるために多少の悪いことは受けれるべき」との見解を示す"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":[],"studios":["OpenAI"],"people":["Sam Altman"],"type":"news","domain":"industry","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
