We will be using SI' in all remarks, positions and press elements moving forward," said an email sent Tuesday to employees by Michael Drager, deputy assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of International Organization Affairs.

They also called for the world to make sure that the power of AI isn't concentrated in one company or country. They also touted the benefits of the technology for bettering humanity and what Altman called "giving people more power over their own lives." Those tech leaders "are telling us in stark terms that it cannot b
