As AI chatbots like ChatGPT take off, there's a growing concern they could be misused.
OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever says it'll be "quite easy" to cause "a great deal of harm" with AI models one day.
"These models are very potent and they're becoming more and more potent," he said.

OpenAI released its latest version of ChatGPT this week, and while the AI chatbot keeps adding new capabilities, there's growing concern that AI tools like it could also be used for bad purposes.
