Sam Altman of OpenAI Denies Marc Andreessen’s Claims of Controlling AI with Biden Administration
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has refuted claims made by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen regarding meetings with the Biden administration about controlling AI. In a recent podcast with Bari Weiss, Andreessen stated that Biden administration staff wanted to control AI by working closely with a few big AI companies, implying that OpenAI would have been a beneficiary. However, Altman dismissed these comments as a ‘conspiracy theory’ in his podcast appearance. According to Altman, while there were meetings between the administration and multiple companies, including OpenAI, there was never a discussion about limiting AI development to only a few companies. Despite the disagreement, Altman and other tech leaders are moving on from the Biden administration, donating to Trump’s inaugural fund. This development highlights the political dynamics between the tech industry and government.
