OpenAI's Sam Altman Says AI Industry Can Police Safety

Sam Altman leads OpenAI, a company that develops artificial intelligence.

He said he believes AI companies can make their technology safely.

He spoke at a conference in San Francisco on Tuesday.

Some policymakers and technology leaders are debating whether governments should regulate AI.

Dario Amodei, who leads Anthropic, recently warned that AI could create risks.

Amodei also suggested that AI development might need to slow down.

OpenAI is working with Anthropic and Google DeepMind on safety problems.

Altman said companies should be able to improve AI models safely themselves.
