Sam Altman reveals why there’s ‘so much Shakespearean drama’ between AI companies
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has drawn a striking parallel between the race to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) and the corrupting ‘Ring of power’ from the famous ‘The Lord of the Rings’ franchise, warning that the goal of being in control over AGI is driving extreme behaviour across the AI industry.
In a blog post where he responded to a Molotov cocktail attack on his home, Altman also reflected on years of intense competition in the AI space, describing it as “Shakespearean drama” among leading AI companies.
