OpenAI chief Sam Altman has warned that humans could eventually lose control of artificial intelligence, according to Decrypt. He called for safeguards to be built into AI training and urged companies across the industry to establish shared standards. Altman also said developers have an opportunity to act before governments introduce legislation. His comments place greater emphasis on voluntary industry measures and technical protections during the development process, rather than waiting for legal requirements to take effect. The warning comes as AI developers continue to shape practices for managing the technology’s risks. The comments are relevant to markets tracking crypto and blockchain projects associated with AI infrastructure, coordination, and digital systems, including AltLayer (ALT), Ethena (ENA), Huma Finance (HUMA), Infinity Ground (AIN), Ontology (ONT), OpenLedger (OPEN), ORE (ORE), Rain (RAIN), RedStone (RED), Safe (SAFE), UMA (UMA), and Velo (VELO).
