Democratic congressman Ro Khanna from Silicon Valley is calling for transparency from OpenAI’s board regarding the firing and rehiring of CEO Sam Altman.
Khanna wants to know the safety concerns that led to Altman’s dismissal, and he may join colleagues in demanding transparency or holding a hearing.
He also emphasized the need for a federal agency to oversee AI development and address wealth disparity that AI may exacerbate. (Trending: Biden Shamefully Removes God From National Address)
“To me, if there’s one headline, it should be: OpenAI’s board should tell us what the concerns were,” said Rep. Ro Khanna.
“We don’t know. We should know. Every journalist should demand that OpenAI’s board tell us what the safety concerns were,” he demanded.
“Why don’t we know what happened? OpenAI’s board should tell us what the concerns are,” insisted the California Democrat.
“There has been a secrecy and lack of transparency that I find concerning,” continued Khanna.
Khanna expressed concerns about the potential impact of AI on workers and ordinary people, highlighting the wealth disparity caused by globalization.
“And you’re going to have AI — it’s going to be great for my district,” he admitted.
“All of these companies are going to do well,” Khanna highlighted.
And then asked, “What’s going to happen to workers? What’s going to happen to ordinary folks?”
