Sam Altman disputes Marc Andreessen’s description of AI meetings with Biden administration

Famed investor Marc Andreessen not too long ago talked about conferences with Biden administration workers who gave him the impression they needed to control AI by working intently with two or three huge AI firms, shutting everybody else out by means of burdensome laws.

Andreessen didn’t title OpenAI, but it surely was implied it could have been a beneficiary of this alleged effort. Nevertheless, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed Andreessen’s feedback as “conspiracy idea” in a podcast this week with Bari Weiss.

“I imply, we have been in a room with them, and different firms and the administration, however by no means like, ‘This is our conspiracy idea, we’ll make it so just a few firms can construct AI after which it’s a must to do what we are saying.’ By no means something like that,” Altman mentioned.

Both method, Altman and different huge tech leaders are transferring on quick from the Biden administration, donating millions to Trump’s inaugural fund.
