In the burgeoning field of technology, two names often stand out for their significant contributions to the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI): Elon Musk and Sam Altman. These two visionaries have each shaped the future of AI in their own way, although their approaches and projects diverge considerably.
Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, is also known for his concerns about the risks associated with AI. Fearing that AI would become too powerful and escape human control, he co-founded OpenAI in 2015 with Sam Altman and others, with the goal of promoting and developing friendly AI whose benefits would be shared fairly. However, Musk has since distanced himself from OpenAI, citing disagreements over the organization's leadership and management.
