Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, is unhappy with celebrity investor Marc Andreessen’s description of an AI meeting with the US government. Mr. Altman disputes a similar point. recently shared concerns about discussions with staff in President Joe Biden’s administration. He suggested that there appears to be an attempt to regulate AI in a way that only benefits a few large companies, effectively sidelining other companies through strict regulation.
TechCrunch reported that while Andreessen did not name OpenAI directly, he hinted that the company could benefit from such a deal. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed these claims as “conspiracy theories” during a podcast appearance with Bari Weiss this week.
“We were in the same room with them, along with other companies and governments,” Altman said. “But once we had a conversation like, ‘Here’s our conspiracy theory — we’re going to allow only a few companies to build AI, and you have to do what we say.’ There was no such thing. ”
Regardless of the controversy, Altman and other tech industry leaders appear to have distanced themselves from the Biden administration, which reportedly donated millions of dollars to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund.
