Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Understanding the Schism at OpenAI


Listen Later

Artificial Intelligence is on every business leader’s agenda. How do we make sense of the fast-moving new developments in AI over the past year? Azeem Azhar returns to bring clarity to leaders who face a complicated information landscape.

In new episodes released throughout December and January, Azeem and other AI experts will address questions like: What really matters when it comes to AI? How do you ensure the AI systems you deploy are harmless and trustworthy? How can we find the signal amidst so much noise?

The upheaval at OpenAI sent shockwaves through the tech world. Karen Hao, a contributing writer who covers AI at The Atlantic, joins Azeem Azhar to break down the ideologies and power struggles within OpenAI and their implications for the development of artificial intelligence. She also explains how these internal conflicts reflect broader challenges in AI development and governance.

They discuss:

  • The ideological schism within OpenAI and the deep-rooted divides that have influenced the organization’s approach to AI safety and development.
  • How OpenAI’s mission and its execution reflect broader power dynamics in the tech industry.
  • The potential impact of this event on the future of AI and regulatory considerations.
