During an interview at The New York Times' DealBook Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed concern over Elon Musk's potential political influence, stating it would be 'profoundly un-American' for Musk to use his power to hurt competitors and favor his own businesses. Altman emphasized that such actions would likely be intolerable to the public and highlighted the need for ethical considerations in the tech sector.
Altman described the relationship with Musk as complex, stating, 'I thought what Elon was doing was absolutely incredible for the world, and I have different feelings about him now.' This reflects a shift in their dynamic as Musk's actions are scrutinized in the context of competition and political involvement.
Regarding the ongoing legal conflicts, Altman mentioned, 'I'm tremendously sad about the suit,' emphasizing the personal impact of Musk's accusations about OpenAI abandoning its original mission. This highlights the deepening tensions in the AI landscape.
Musk’s initiatives, particularly the upcoming advisory commission DOGE that aims to recommend significant cuts to federal agencies, raise questions about his influence over policy-making in the AI sector, especially as he disputes OpenAI’s competitive practices.
