Comment by Sam Altman
CEO at OpenAI
If AGI is successfully created, this technology could help us elevate humanity by increasing abundance, turbocharging the global economy, and aiding in the discovery of new scientific knowledge that changes the limits of possibility. AGI has the potential to give everyone incredible new capabilities; we can imagine a world where all of us have access to help with almost any cognitive task, providing a great force multiplier for human ingenuity and creativity. [...] On the other hand, AGI would also come with serious risk of misuse, drastic accidents, and societal disruption. 1. We want AGI to empower humanity to maximally flourish in the universe. [...] 2. We want the benefits of, access to, and governance of AGI to be widely and fairly shared.AI Verified source (2023)

Verified via web search. The quote is from Sam Altman's February 2023 OpenAI blog post "Planning for AGI and beyond." Search results confirm the verbatim text: "If AGI is successfully created, this technology could help us elevate humanity by increasing abundance, turbocharging the global economy, and aiding in the discovery of new scientific knowledge..." and "great force multiplier for human ingenuity and creativity." The two listed principles ("We want AGI to empower humanity to maximally flourish in the universe" / "widely and fairly shared") are also stated in the original post. The vote "for" on "AGI will create abundance" directly aligns with the quote. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but content is confirmed.
