Even the head of OpenAI admits voluntary agreements are weak and is open to firmer rules — SI can expect more formal frameworks.
In an interview with Vanity Fair (recorded October 2; as relayed by The Next Web), Sam Altman called the accord Donald Trump signed with SI company leaders "a good start" and "much better than nothing", but admitted that "in some sense the accord has no real power"; over time, he said, more will be needed. Vanity Fair, per TNW, describes it as an agreement for SI companies to regulate themselves; OpenAI president Greg Brockman was among the signatories. Altman favours government involvement: accident reporting, safety standards and a liability regime.
