OpenAI's policy chief says AI companies 'need to do a much better job' talking about AI as industry leaders face personal attacks | Fortune
""Some of the conversation out there is not necessarily responsible. And when you put some of those thoughts and ideas out there, they do have consequences.""
""This is not fun and games. This is really serious s-t.""
""The constant drumbeat of promises of AI's labor market impact, as well as the threat of raising electricity bills and the danger it poses to kids, has a growing number of Americans rejecting the technology.""
""Reactions to the attack across social platforms like Instagram and TikTok suggest the sentiment runs deep. Comments like 'He's not scared enough' and 'FREE THAT MAN HE DID NOTHING WRONG' reveal a widespread fear of the technology.""
AI's transformative impact on labor is causing a divide among the public, with only 26% of U.S. voters viewing it positively. OpenAI's Chris Lehane warns against irresponsible messaging surrounding AI, emphasizing the serious consequences of such rhetoric. The backlash has escalated, exemplified by a violent incident involving a Molotov cocktail attack on OpenAI's CEO's home and a shooting at a councilman's house over data center support. Social media reactions indicate a deep-seated fear of AI among many Americans.
