He said that AI's ability to compromise election integrity is a "significant area of concern," Reuters reports.

Altman went on to say that AI development needs regulation.

Otherwise, guild members are prohibited from promoting projects that are affiliated with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), per strike guidelines. . Every time people from SAG go and support a movie that has agreed to these terms – the interim agreement – it just makes it more obvious that these people are willing to support the people that they collaborate with, and the others are not, Adam Driver, via statement. I’m very happy to be here to support this movie. I'm very proud to be here to be a visual representation of a movie that’s not part of the AMPTP and to promote the SAG leadership directive, which is an effective tactic – which is the interim agreement, Adam Driver, via statement. SAG-AFTRA went on strike in July. The Writers Guild of America went on strike in May. Both groups are seeking to negotiate better pay and protection from AI's encroachment into their industry.
