OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said Tuesday at BlackRock's US Infrastructure Summit in Washington, D.C., that "AI is not very popular" and warned of "a bunch of potential headwinds" facing the industry. He cited rising public concern—an NBC poll showing 57% say AI risks outweigh benefits and a Pew survey finding 50% more concerned—and recent controversy over OpenAI's Pentagon deal. He said the US must speed adoption to retain its AI advantage.
