November 28, 2023 | Taylor Owen co-hosted GZERO AI, a weekly video series intended to make their audience keep up and make sense of the latest news on the AI revolution. In the latest episode Taylor Owen explains the profound consequences of the OpenAI - Sam Altman drama.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, was kicked out of his company by his own board of directors. Under a week later, he was back as CEO, and all but one of those board members was gone. Taylor Owen stated that he is having this profound sense of deja vu similar to what he felt in the early days of Web 2.0. Open AI is building legitimately groundbreaking technologies, technologies that could transform our world.
"We're making many of the same mistakes in AI regulation that we made with social media. But this time the fallout could be more dire."
