OpenAI says AI is 'safe enough' as scandals raise concernsSEATTLE, May 22, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended his company's AI technology as safe for widespread use, as concerns mount over potential risks and lack of proper safeguards for ChatGPT-style AI systems. Altman's remarks came at a Microsoft event in Seattle, where he spoke to developers just as a new controversy erupted over an OpenAI AI voice that closely resembled that of the actress Scarlett Johansson. OpenAI is a close partner of Microsoft and provides the foundational technology, primarily the GPT-4 large language model, for building AI tools. Microsoft has jumped on the AI bandwagon, pushing out new products and urging users to embrace generative AI's capabilities. Altman insisted that OpenAI had put in "a huge amount of work" to ensure the safety of its models.

Seeman’s lifeline was a scholarship to an elite Catholic high school in Toledo, which he grabbed with both hands. While at that school, Seeman applied to Yale and was accepted. And yet, Seeman found the inner strength to “choose wisely.”After Yale, Seeman did find his way into Harvard Law School.
