OpenAI turmoil shows the need for, ‘rules of the road from the government’: Future Today Institute

Investors could be shifting tones on AI as global regulators shift on Sam Altman’s ousting as OpenAI CEO and swift reinstatement five days later. With ties to Microsoft (MSFT) — a 49% stakeholder in the artificial intelligence firm — stronger than ever, regulators worry Altman and OpenAI’s connections to the tech giant will make way for an “acquisition without an actual acquisition.”
Axios Tech and Policy Reporter Ashley Gold and Duke University Professor and Venture Capitalist Sultan Meghji join Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the types of guardrails lawmakers will want moving forward as similar shakeups could muddy the waters on transparency and antitrust issues.
Meghji — former CIO of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) — calls this messy scenario just “another way to get past the regulatory landscape,” similar to past tech and social media trends.
Similarly, Gold expands upon how AI developers could skirt past regulator mandates: “There’s also agreement that only the… biggest, most complicated, most dangerous advanced models are the ones that should be highly regulated. There’s a sense that smaller AI companies that are doing AI models that aren’t quite as impactful should not be caught up in the same regulations as these foundation models that OpenAI and others are working on. So, I think that’s a bit of a lesson we learned from the social media era.”
