Sam Altman responds to ChatGPT erotic content controversy: OpenAI is not the "world's moral police"
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated on Wednesday that the company is "not the world's elected moral police." This comes after his decision to relax ChatGPT's content restrictions, allowing content such as erotica, which has sparked strong opposition.
In recent months, this artificial intelligence startup has faced increasing scrutiny, with the public focusing on how it protects users (especially minors). In response, OpenAI has gradually improved its safety and control measures.
However, on Tuesday, Altman posted on social platform X that since the company has been able to mitigate "serious mental health risks," OpenAI can now "safely relax" most content restrictions.
Last December, Altman stated that ChatGPT would allow a wider range of content, including erotic content.
On Wednesday, Altman posted again on X, attempting to clarify this move. He said that OpenAI "takes the principle of 'treating adult users as adults' very seriously," but will still not allow "content that causes harm to others."
Altman wrote: "Just as society distinguishes other reasonable boundaries (such as R-rated movies), we hope to take a similar approach in this regard."

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029
It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
