Conspiracy theory …: ChatGPT maker OpenAI CEO Sam Altman slams Marc Andreessen’s description of meetings with US government – Times of India

ChatGPT maker OpenAI‘s CEO, Sam Altman is unhappy with the famed investor Marc Andreessen‘s description of AI meetings with the United States government. Altman has gone to the extent of disputing the same. recently shared his concerns about discussions he had with staff from the Joe Biden administration. He suggested that they appeared to want to regulate AI in a way that would favor just two or three major companies, effectively sidelining others through stringent regulations.
According to a report in TechCrunch, although Andreessen did not directly name OpenAI, it was implied that the company might stand to benefit from such an arrangement. However, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, dismissed these claims as a “conspiracy theory” during a podcast appearance with Bari Weiss this week.
“We were in the room with them, along with other companies and the administration,” Altman said. “But there was never any conversation like, ‘Here’s our conspiracy theory —- we’re going to make it so only a few companies can build AI, and you have to do what we say.’ Never anything like that.”
Regardless of the dispute, Altman and other tech industry leaders seem to be distancing themselves from the Biden administration, with reports of millions of dollars being donated to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund.
