The CEO of the company behind the viral ChatGPT recently admitted that he fears the AI chatbot will eliminate several jobs. In an interview with ABC News, Sam Altman revealed that he was a little "scared" about starting his business and warned people to be "careful." Explaining that the technology was so powerful that it could become dangerous, Altman said that people should be grateful that the company is wary of its own invention. "If I said I wasn't, you shouldn't trust me or be very unhappy that I'm in this position," he said. Also Read: Will ChatGPT-4 Replace Your Jobs? What the AI tool says
Despite the possibility of artificial intelligence replacing jobs, he added that it could lead to better roles. He also called AI the "best technology" ever developed by man in terms of its ability to dramatically improve and impact life.
On the effect of AI chatbots on students and whether laziness in children would increase, Altman said that change is inevitable in the education sector. Citing the example of the calculator changing the way math is taught, Altman said the benefits of AI have the potential to go beyond education. "The promise of this technology, one of the ones I'm most excited about, is the ability to deliver personalized learning, great personalized learning for every student," he said.

However, Altman shared his biggest concern about authoritarian governments that abuse technology. The tech entrepreneur told ABC he was in constant contact with government authorities and called for AI regulation and for the company to participate in the launch of ChatGPT.
In a series of tweets last month, the 37-year-old warned that the world may not be that far from a "potentially scary" AI.
GPT-4, the latest version of OpenAI's ChatGPT, was introduced this week as a less biased, more creative and accurate model that exhibits human-level performance. GPT-4, which is reportedly already used in schools to create quizzes and lesson plans for students, can also pass the bar exam for lawyers, Altman says.
