OpenAI’s power play: Can Sam Altman be trusted with the future of AI?

OpenAI, once a nonprofit focused on developing safe artificial general intelligence (AGI), has transformed into a for-profit company valued at $150 billion. The organization has seen significant leadership changes, with only two of six original founders remaining. ChatGPT's success triggered a global AI race, but raised concerns about AI misuse and OpenAI's shift towards profitability. Critics worry this change may prioritize commercial success over ethical AI development. The company's future impact on technology and public trust in AI stewards remains uncertain as it faces challenges balancing its original mission with profit motives.
