The development of AI
Concerns on Open AI: Will Musk Disadvantage Competitors?
Open AI's CEO Sam Altman may have reason to worry about competitor Elon Musk's influence in the White House, writes the Financial Times.
"It would be profoundly un-American to use political power, to the degree that Elon has, to hurt his competitors and benefit his own companies," Altman said during a meeting with investors last week.
Open AI is still perhaps the main player in AI, but is challenged by, among others, Elon Musk's x AI. At the same time, Elon Musk has sued Open AI, a company he co-founded, and several times got into heated arguments with Altman.
Reid Hoffmann, who sits on Microsoft's board and previously served on Open AI's, says that Elon Musk may benefit his own company and harm competitors.
- That would be a very destructive thing to do. Destructive to industry and destructive to American society.
Elon Musk himself writes on X that his business competitors can expect him to be "magnanimous".
