Unlike other problematic OpenAI investors, Summers is a top dog at OpenAI, holding a spot on the board of directors.

Emails released by the House Committee revealed a close relationship between Larry Summers and Jeffrey Epstein. Summers held shares in OpenAI and served on its board before announcing his resignation.

The exchanges indicate a breach of academic and ethical norms and raise questions about Summers' judgment and leadership suitability at a major AI company.
