Barry Diller trusts Sam Altman. But ‘trust is irrelevant’ as AGI nears, he says.

Barry Diller, Chairman of IAC, defended Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, emphasizing the need for regulations on artificial general intelligence (AGI). Diller stated that AGI remains an unpredictable force, necessitating clear protective strategies. He highlighted that the challenges associated with AGI require collaboration between companies and governments to ensure the safe use of this technology. Diller's remarks come amid growing concerns about AGI's societal and economic impacts.
