Ahead of OpenAI's DevDay keynote, Sam Altman sat down with CNBC for a wide-ranging interview covering AI safety, expectations out of Washington, how models are vetted, OpenAI's hardware ambitions, competition with Meta, and questions about his reputation (plus an upcoming movie about him). On scrutiny, he said: "Everyone doing something this important to society deserves scrutiny." He added that he understands public anxiety about AI and doesn't mind people projecting it onto him or poking fun at him for relief.
