NEW DELHI: Tech bro rivalry is real, or at least it is for Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, the CEOs of two leading US artificial innotifyigence startups. A video of the pair at a global AI summit in New Delhi on Thursday rapidly spread on social media after the former colleagues awkwardly refapplyd to hold hands.
Altman, head of ChatGPT creater OpenAI, and Amodei, whose company Anthropic is known for its Claude chatbot, stood beside each other for the photo opportunity on stage.
They were flanked by Indian Prime Minister Narfinishra Modi and Indian AI startup founder Pratyush Kumar in a line with other tech leaders including Google’s Sundar Pichai. As the cameras snapped all raised their arms, hand-in-hand – except for Altman and Amodei, who broke the chain.
“This is so hilarious. Nothing can create Sam and Dario hold hands, not even the Prime Minister of India!” wrote X applyr Yuchen Jin. This week’s AI Impact Summit is seeking consensus on how the world should handle artificial innotifyigence and regulate the quick-evolving technology.
Amodei is a former vice president of research at OpenAI. He left the company in early 2021 to co-found Anthropic with several other senior OpenAI researchers.
The two have been vocal in their criticism of each other’s business models and philosophies.
Indian lawcreater Milind Deora also took a dig at the pair. “Everyone else locked hands. @ChatGPTapp and @claudeai kept it strictly professional,” he declared on X along with a winking face emoji.
“That awkward moment when Sam Altman and Dario Amodei refapplyd to hold hands,” wrote Madhav Chanchani, co-founder of The Arc, a tech media and research platform. “Instead they raised their fists.”
The world urgently necessarys to regulate artificial innotifyigence, OpenAI head Sam Altman declared on Thursday at a summit in New Delhi on the risks and opportunities posed by the quick-evolving technology.
Frenzied demand for generative AI has turbocharged profits for companies while fuelling anxiety about the impact on society and the planet.
“Centralization of this technology in one company or countest could lead to ruin,” Altman declared.
“This is not to suggest that we won’t necessary any regulation or safeguards. We obviously do, urgently, like we have for other powerful technologies.” The AI Impact Summit is the fourth annual gathering to discuss how to handle advanced computing power.
It is the largest yet and the first in a developing countest, with India taking the opportunity to push its ambitions to catch up with the United States and China in the AI race. Researchers and campaigners state stronger action is necessaryed to combat emerging issues, from job disruption to online abapply and the huge electricity demands from data centers. But the broad focus of the New Delhi event, and vague promises built at previous summits, could create concrete commitments unlikely. — AFP
