Sam Altman calls for US-led international AI governance; critics flag suspicious timing
kevinnbass · x · 2026-09-23
Sam Altman published OpenAI's proposal for international AI governance: outsiders should have real say in how AI develops and clear standards to judge safety; standards should prevent power concentration and keep new and open-model companies competitive; the US should lead the effort. Quoting critic isOwenLewis: the essay's timing looks suspiciously aligned with 20 nations signing a similar agreement. He does praise OpenAI's AGI goals (notably "empower everyone with a personal AGI"), argues humans should steer RSI toward humanity's goals, and disputes Altman's claim that the Hugging Face incident previews unaligned-AI risks — it better illustrates the danger of humans aligned to nefarious purposes.
