OpenAI Files Demand AGI Oversight and Accountability - The OpenAI Files, an initiative by tech watchdog groups, call for increased transparency and oversight in OpenAI's quest for artificial general intelligence (AGI). They express concerns about governance, rushed safety evaluations, and leadership integrity, urging responsible governance and ethical leadership.
The Files scrutinize CEO Sam Altman's role and possible conflicts of interest, showing a shift from OpenAI's original non-profit goals due to investor pressure. With the power of the AGI race concentrated among a few, the Files emphasize the importance of accountability over inevitability.
