OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admits he is ‘scared' to use AI: ‘I don't know who is…'
CEO
Sam Altman
recently admitted that is scared to use 'certain AI stuff' sometimes. Speaking at one of the episodes of Theo Von's podcast This Past Weekend, Altman said 'I get scared sometimes to use certain AI stuff, because I don't know how much personal information I want to put in, because I don't know who's going to have it.' Sam Altman was responding to Von's question on the fast pace of AI development 'Do you think there should be kind of like a slowing things down?'
During the conversation, the OpenAI CEO compared the current competition among AI companies as an 'intense' race not only for commercial domination, but as tool that will echo for generations. He further stated that ChatGPT-maker OpenAI does not move quickly, someone else will, adding that fate of AI could slip out of hands of those most mindful about its social consequences.
Uncertain about human future: Sam Altman
During the podcast, Sam Altman acknowledged how uncertain the human future is. 'I think all of human history suggests we find a way to put ourselves at the center of the story and feel really good about it … Even in a world where AI is doing all of this stuff that humans used to do, we are going to find a way in our own telling of the story to feel like the main characters,' he said.

Altman also addressed the fear of certain jobs becoming obsolete because of AI. 'How will people survive?' host Von asked. To this, Sam Altman replied AI will create possibilities for individuals to pursue more creative, philosophical, or interpersonal goals.
He said that when everyone can get instant help and knowledge through AI, people can rethink what it means to contribute to society. However, he warned that the shift could be very difficult for those who lose their jobs in the short term.

Trump's 50% tariffs fail to hit $30 bn of Indian exports: Pharma, smartphones exempted
Despite US President Donald Trump's decision to double tariffs on Indian goods to 50% from August 6, a major chunk of Indian exports worth nearly $30 billion remains untouched for now. Key sectors like pharmaceuticals and electronics including smartphones and semiconductors continue to enjoy exemptions under a carve-out list that shields them from higher duties. The tariff hike, justified by the Trump administration as a response to India's continued procurement of Russian energy and arms is expected to impact India's labour-intensive export segments. However, shipments of critical products such as medicines, mobile phones and energy supplies have been spared at least for the moment. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In FY25, India exported pharmaceuticals and electronics worth $10.5 billion and $14.6 billion respectively to the US, together accounting for over 29% of its total exports to America which stood at $86.5 billion. Interestingly, India's petroleum exports amounting to $4.09 billion have also been excluded from the latest tariffs due to their placement in the energy exemption list. These high-value categories had previously escaped the initial 25% tariff announced on July 30 as well. While these exemptions offer temporary relief, uncertainty remains. Trump has warned of tariffs going as high as 250% on foreign-manufactured pharmaceuticals and the status of smartphones may shift depending on future policy decisions. The executive order signed on August 6 clarified that all goods currently listed under exemptions would continue to receive preferential access to the US market at lower or zero tariffs. The original 25% tariff was introduced after talks to finalise a limited trade deal between the two countries collapsed. That move, which takes effect on August 7, paved the way for this latest escalation. India and the US are still working towards concluding a broader Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA), targeted for finalisation by the end of the year.

'Economic blackmail': Rahul Gandhi slams Trump's 50 per cent tariff on India
NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said US President Donald Trump's 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods is "economic blackmail" to bully India into an unfair trade deal. Soon after Trump announced a penalty of another 25 per cent on India for buying Russian oil, the former Congress president said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not let Indian interests be overridden. "Trump's 50% tariff is economic blackmail - an attempt to bully India into an unfair trade deal. "PM Modi better not let his weakness override the interests of the Indian people," Gandhi said in a post on X.

India Unites Against Trump's ‘ECONOMIC BLACKMAIL': PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Tharoor BLAST US Tariffs
India's SHOCK Reply To Trump's 50% Tariffs; Fires 'Will PROTECT National Interests' Warning In a strongly worded statement, India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) sharply rejected the United States' new 25% tariff on Indian imports tied to Russian oil purchases—calling it 'unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable.' The MEA clarified that India's energy imports are driven by market dynamics and national interest, aimed at securing reliable, affordable energy for its 1.4 billion citizens. India noted that many other countries—including China, Turkey, and the EU—are also continuing trade with Russia, yet are not being targeted in the same way. 7.1K views | 1 hour ago
