During a Salesforce interview, Altman described short-form videos as &#8220;risky,&#8221; acknowledging their addictive nature and difficulties children have resisting the dopamine-driven engagement they promote. He highlighted that social media has had negative societal impacts,especially on youth,while emphasizing the importance of keeping AI and digital experiences human-centered. Altman also discussed industry safety measures, such as the EU&#8217;s proposed Kids Act to restrict social media account creation for children under 15, and noted that OpenAI had discontinued its own short video app, Sora. he advocates for cautious AI progress and regulation to mitigate social harms.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Leading artificial intelligence executive Sam Altman warned that he would not let his own children use short-form content because of its effects on young minds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">The OpenAI CEO said short-form video is \u201cdangerous\u201d and he does not want his kids watching it during an on-stage <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Bh5bJrrJ6xs?si=Nsud42W7Mg52Xkon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> at Salesforce\u2019s Dreamforce conference in San Francisco on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Altman made the remarks after being asked what AI companies should learn from social media\u2019s toll on young people \u2014 the issue at the center of Meta\u2019s roughly $17.1 billion settlement on Aug. 26 with states that accused the company of addicting teens to its apps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cI think we\u2019re going to stay in an extremely human- centric world no matter how good [AI] technology gets, and I think one of the things I didn\u2019t like about social media is, I think, it pushed us a little bit more away,\u201d Altman told Salesforce CEO and chairman Marc Benioff at the conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Social media has not been \u201conly positive\u201d for society, especially when looking at the effects on young people, the OpenAI CEO said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">He argued that social media companies shouldn\u2019t shoulder the blame for all of society\u2019s problems, but he would have managed the companies differently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cI happen to like short for video \u2026 but I wouldn\u2019t let my kids near that stuff,\u201d Altman said at the conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s reasonable to expect kids to be able to resist that dopamine thing or know that they even should.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t think short-form video is inherently evil, but I do think it\u2019s dangerous,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">OpenAI did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cSome degree of accidents are unavoidable with new technology across the industry,\u201d Altman said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">However, the industry can build AI safely if it keeps safety ahead of new capabilities and learns from incidents similarly to the aviation industry, he explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">The CEO agreed with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei\u2019s call to <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sama\/status\/2099348812305473766?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pace<\/a> AI development on Monday<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">One plan to curb these negative social media effects was revealed on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">The European Commission is preparing to introduce the EU Kids Act, which would set age-based limits on children\u2019s social media use.
