Summary
POLITICO debuted Decoded and its companion daily podcast on Monday, leading with an exclusive interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Altman told POLITICO that the world should accept “some bad things happening” in exchange for AI’s broader benefits, framing the launch around the risks and power struggles shaping the sector.
The interview also covers Donald Trump’s new AI accord with major tech firms, OpenAI models’ autonomous hacking incidents, possible legal liability, and AI money flowing into U.S. politics.
Decoded is anchored by Brendan Bordelon, Calder McHugh, Christine Mui and Sam Sutton, and draws on reporting from nearly 50 POLITICO journalists worldwide.
POLITICO said the new product will focus on the people, policy fights and political battles driving tech, aiming to help readers track where influence is shifting.
