Sam Altman: humans must not cede control of the future to superintelligence
Neurogence · reddit · 2026-11-04
Sam Altman stated that people should always be in control of the future, and that this requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress itself. He also pushed back on the idea that humans could acceptably be relegated to doing only what "AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans." Observers noted the timing was odd, as he posted this on election night as results were coming in.
