OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever cautioned that Elon Musk's desire for unilateral control over AGI could jeopardize the company's mission to avoid a dictatorship by making future progress dependent on personal power.
Sutskever's email highlighted Musk's contradictory stance on leadership: professing a dislike for the CEO role while simultaneously claiming a need for title to establish authority, indicating deeper issues of governance.
The tension around Musk's control led to his resignation from OpenAI in 2018 and reflects ongoing concerns about governance, responsibility, and ethical oversight in AGI development.
Sutskever expressed fears that Musk's intentions might not align with the collective goals of OpenAI, emphasizing the importance of collaborative oversight to ensure AGI benefits humanity.
