Sam Altman Expresses Confidence in the US Leading the AI Race
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has voiced his confidence in President-elect Donald Trump supporting the AI sector and ensuring that America, together with its allies, retain pole position in this nascent industry. Altman was speaking during a recent interview with Fox News.
During the interview, Sam Altman highlighted the fact that support in the form of massive infrastructure needed to be directed to the artificial intelligence industry. Altman added that he was certain that the incoming administration would provide this needed support. He reiterated that the massive infrastructure was necessary to enable the U.S. to stamp its leadership on AI technology and AI capabilities.
Sam Altman’s comments came in response to a question on the ongoing competition between America and China in the AI space. The OpenAI CEO emphasized that the U.S. and the countries allied to it have to lead the industry.
The massive infrastructure required includes vast amounts of electricity, technological support, in addition to huge data centers. The technological support refers to computer chips as well as advanced semiconductors. Companies like Nvidia have seen their valuations skyrocket on account of being industry leaders in providing the advanced chips needed by AI companies.
During the interview, Sam Altman also expressed a desire to see Congress approving legislation aimed at instituting safeguards regulating how artificial intelligence could be used.
He explained that he wasn’t sure when and what form of legislation was required, but said he was sure regulation would happen. He added that it wouldn’t be right to let firms like OpenAI make the big decisions concerning the ways in which AI could be leveraged. Rather, the broader society, through the lawmakers, needed to have their say on this important matter.
OpenAI, the company that Sam Altman heads, has risen in prominence as the years have gone by. This is because the firm has played a key role in the AI space from the time its flagship innovation ChatGPT was released onto the market. ChatGPT opened the floodgates to generative AI and other use-cases for artificial intelligence.
It should be noted that Elon Musk, another billionaire, was a cofounder of OpenAI. He left the company and recently went to court to stop OpenAI from pivoting to a profit-making enterprise as it had been founded as a nonprofit. The case is still ongoing.
OpenAI’s legal issues with Elon Musk aside, the race to establish AI infrastructure is on. Tech giants like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Alphabet Inc., Amazon and so many others are frantically building out data centers and other attendant systems in order to stamp their mark on the AI field. This race to set up AI infrastructure and applications has created market opportunities for companies like McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) that extract the minerals critical to the AI industry.
