New Delhi: The issue of Artificial Intelligence in the world was agitated once again when Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, was reportedly under renewed pressure by the board of the company. This is in the era when AI applications, such as ChatGPT, are getting stronger and more potent in everyday life.
According to sources who are close to the situation, the key factor is not money, but it is of power and control. OpenAI is a non-profit organization that was founded to create AI securely to unleash the world. However, with time, it became more commercial and cooperated closely with big tech partners and brought huge revenues. Other members of the board fear that there is rapid business growth that is potentially going too fast in company of safety regulations.
Sam Altman is known to be an innovator who follows short timelines. The fans argue this is necessary since the AI competitiveness in the world is increasing, particularly in China and other major tech firms. However, critics are of the opinion that excessive speeding is hazardous. They are afraid that AI might be used incorrectly to convey fake news, lose a job, or even resort to cyber crimes.
The issue of who determines the future of AI is also a concern of the board. Is it the leaders of the company, the investors or a group of independent people? It is reported that some members of the board feel that they are not getting involved in major decisions.
