OpenAI recently published policy recommendations advocating for the responsible development of artificial intelligence to benefit humanity. However, a simultaneous investigation by The New Yorker casts doubt on CEO Sam Altman’s credibility. The investigation, which included interviews with over 100 insiders and a review of internal memos, suggests that Altman may not be the trustworthy leader needed to navigate the complexities of AI. Insiders characterized him as a people-pleaser who seeks to be liked, while simultaneously displaying a concerning disregard for the potential consequences of his actions. This duality raises serious questions about his ability to fulfill OpenAI's mission of ensuring that AI advancements lead to a higher quality of life for all. The publication warns that without proper oversight, AI could pose significant risks, including evading human control and being used to undermine democratic processes.
