fchollet · x · 2026-11-04
François Chollet publicly endorsed Sam Altman's statement that people should always be in control of the future. Altman argued OpenAI rejects the idea that humans could be relegated to behaviors 'AI systems think makes sense to reward,' and that the requirement of human control over the future should ultimately constrain AI progress. Chollet: the only future worth building is one where AI remains a tool elevating the human condition.
