Musk had been a leading critic of OpenAI, despite being one of the co-founders. After the release of ChatGPT, he signed a letter asking for a moratorium on the development of more advanced generative AI models. This was to implement safety measures.
The petition circulated by ARI stated, 'No one is better equipped to help the Trump Administration make America lead on AI than Elon Musk,' highlighting Musk’s influence and the importance of AI leadership.
Despite criticisms regarding potential conflicts of interest due to his ownership of xAI, ARI believes that with 'proper mechanisms,' these conflicts can be managed to allow Musk to advise responsibly.
According to ARI policy analyst David Robusto, 'Musk's lack of specificity suggests his thinking on the topic is evolving and can still be shaped by public debate over the issue,' indicating that there is room for influence.
