A split between rival AI labs

Altman's remarks highlight a growing philosophical divide among leading AI companies. While OpenAI frames some risk-taking as the price of deploying AI broadly, Anthropic has positioned itself around stronger caution, citing potential harms from large language models (LLMs).

The difference in position comes as regulators and governments — including bodies such as the Ministry of Science and ICT in Korea — weigh how to balance AI innovation against safety rules.

What remains unconfirmed

Details of the exact remarks and the specific policy proposals Altman was responding to were not fully established, and the precise scope of the disagreement with Anthropic remains unclear beyond the general contrast in their stated positions.

The claim is judged True.
