Trump just said, "Whoever wins AI wins," Altman: If AI goes out of control, it doesn't matter who wins.

Beating AI News Flash: Trump has just rejected slowing down AI on the grounds of competition with China, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman subsequently published a long post continuing to insist on "hitting the brakes." He said that so-called slowing down does not mean stopping research and development, but rather letting models progress a bit more slowly to leave time for safety and monitoring. "No matter how much competitive pressure the United States faces, it cannot be a reason for reckless development."

OpenAI is also preparing to move safety review further upstream. In the past, safety frameworks mainly focused on model releases, but now the company will write a clear "safety case" in advance before starting frontier reinforcement learning training that could substantially increase capabilities, confirming risks and protective measures. Altman also supports nationwide unified frontier AI safety standards and independent review, but believes there is no need to wait for congressional legislation, and companies should start doing it now.

Altman also pointed out two worst outcomes. One is humanity completely losing control of AI, and the other is super AI being monopolized by one person, one company, one laboratory, or even one country. He believes both situations must be avoided, and AI must ultimately always obey humanity.
