OpenAI Rolls Out the Welcome Mat for New Boardroom Mavericks!
“OpenAI announces new members to board of directors”
“OpenAI is pleased to announce the addition of two new members to its Board of Directors, Y Combinator partner, Sam Altman, and former Google executive, Adam D’Angelo. Their invaluable insights and breadth of experience make them incredibly well-suited to accelerate OpenAI’s mission of ensuring artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity.”
Well, well, well, it seems OpenAI Board of Directors has gone shopping and added two fresh faces to its prestigious roster: some Y Combinator guy named Sam Altman and a certain ex-Google executive, Adam D’Angelo. Apparently, their “invaluable insights” and vast experience are expected to add some fuel to the ambitious mission of OpenAI, which is to ensure the benefits of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) are received by EVERYONE, not just a select few. Such noble goals they have!
However, it’s not all about these new recruits. OpenAI uses this announcement as an opportunity to re-emphasize on its four key principles. The mantras seem to be “broadly distributed benefits,” “long-term safety,” “technical leadership,” and “cooperative orientation.” Clearly, someone at OpenAI loves their buzzwords. But hey, if these are the principles they’re rolling with, let’s hope they stick to it, ultimately delivering AGI that is both safe and beneficial for all.
Speaking of safety, this dashing addition to the board couldn’t have come at a better time. OpenAI is planning to invest “substantial resources” into ensuring AGI’s safety. It’s almost comforting to know that someone out there is concerned about AGI going all Skynet on us. As if that isn’t enough, they are putting their money where their mouth is and pledging to cooperate with other research and policy making institutions. Cooperation in the tech world? Now, that’s a novel idea!
To wrap it all up: OpenAI is pulling out all the stops to ensure that AGI doesn’t favor the elite or turn the world into a dystopian sci-fi movie. With these stellar new additions to the board, it seems they’re stocking up on all the brainpower they can get. Well, dear OpenAI, it’s nice to see you’re taking this AGI stuff seriously. It’s not like it’s a potentially world-altering technology or anything. Carry on, then.
