Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has challenged OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman’s argument that society should accept some harms in exchange for AI’s benefits. DeSantis said citizens, not Altman, should decide what risks to accept, Creative Loafing Tampa reports.
Why it mattersThe remarks add a political counterpoint to Altman’s position, rather than evidence about whether AI’s benefits outweigh its harms. DeSantis also criticised the technology’s use by hospitals and insurers, arguing that patients risk being left out of the equation.
