Altman emphasized the potential benefits of AGI but also warned of significant risks, including misuse, lack of regulatory oversight, and the possibility of AGI acting beyond human control. He called for immediate global cooperation to establish legal frameworks that can manage the development and deployment of AGI responsibly.

The article discusses the legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding AGI, including accountability, data privacy, and the potential for systemic bias in AI decision-making.
