OpenAI CEO calls for global cooperation to regulate AI
SEOUL — Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, used a high-profile trip to South Korea on Friday to call for coordinated international regulation of generative artificial intelligence, the technology that underpins his famous chatbot.“As these systems get very, very powerful, that does require special concern, and it has global impact. So it also requires global cooperation,” Altman said at an event in Seoul, ahead of a meeting with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.He is one of hundreds of top experts who recently warned about the risk of human extinction from AI, saying mitigating that possibility “should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”Altman explained Friday that his concern was “not our inability to...

Emissions of CO2 from the power sector continue to push up temperatures
Climate change: New idea for sucking up CO2 from air shows promise
LONDON — A new way of sucking carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in the sea has been outlined by scientists.The authors say that this novel approach captures CO2 from the atmosphere up to three times more efficiently than current methods.The warming gas can be transformed into bicarbonate of soda and stored safely and cheaply in seawater.The new method could speed up the deployment of carbon removal technology, experts say.While the world has struggled to limit and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide in recent decades, several companies have instead focussed on developing technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.Climeworks in Switzerland is perhaps the best known. Over the past ten years it has developed machines to suck in the air from the atmosphere that filter and trap the...
