OpenAI CEO Sam Altman criticized on Friday billionaire Elon Musk, who owns a rival artificial intelligence company xAI, after Musk sued him. "It seems clear to me why he’s doing all of this. Because he’s trying to slow down a competitor and he doesn’t like that he’s like not winning in AI," Altman told the Financial Times in an interview.
Altman described his job as the "coolest, most important job maybe in history," although he also said he considered running for the governor of California. Speaking about the future of OpenAI's ChatGPT language model, Altman said he wants users to have individual AI assistants, which will "get to know you better over the course of your life, have your data in and be more personalised and you could use it anywhere." He insisted his company is still committed to developing "responsible technology." However, he noted AI could become "better than we sort of have a conception for."
