Elon Musk, a co-founder of the company OpenAI, raised his concern about a potentially dark turn for artificial intelligence.
In an interview at the Dealbook summit, Musk hinted at the possibility that OpenAI has discovered “something dangerous” that has raised concerns for the current board members, leading to the firing of CEO Sam Altman.
Altman was hired back just days later after nearly all the staff threatened to quit.
OpenAI, which was founded by Altman and Musk with Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman, was initially created as a non-profit to serve humanity and offer potential benefits to modern life.
Musk expressed his “mixed feelings” about both the company and Altman.
Most of these feelings were put on display when Musk announced his resignation from the company in 2018 because of disagreement over its direction, criticizing the company for making the switch from a not-for-profit to for-profit.
Musk has said that OpenAI, whose product ChatGPT went viral this summer, has created a potential danger for humanity for a potential “extinction event.”
The billionaire suggested that this danger was something that “scared” the company’s chief scientist, which “caused chaos” within the company.
Musk has also suggested that the danger is so severe that OpenAI should disclose the reasons behind the firing and rehiring of Altman.
He responded to a tweet from David Sacks on X by saying, “Given the risk and power of advanced AI, the public should be informed of why the board felt they had to take such drastic action.”
