"​​It’s important for OpenAI and companies like ours to bring this into the public consciousness in a way that’s controlled and responsible," Murati told Timeearlier this year. "But we’re a small group of people and we need a ton more input in this system and a lot more input that goes beyond the technologies — definitely regulators and governments and everyone else."
