Sam Altman, after a tumultuous tenure involving being fired from OpenAI and later returning as CEO, is currently navigating a crisis due to Elon Musk's $97 billion offer to acquire OpenAI. In a tongue-in-cheek response, Altman expressed no interest in the bid while reaffirming a commitment to Microsoft's partnership. The situation is further complicated by competition from China's DeepSeek AI model, which is pricing well below OpenAI's offerings, raising concerns among lawmakers about user data security and potential risks for the U.S. in the AI landscape.
Altman responded to Musk's $97 billion bid for OpenAI jokingly, stating, "No thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want."
Amidst the crisis, Altman reiterated OpenAI's commitment to its partnership with Microsoft, emphasizing that they will not alter their foundational agreements.
The launch of China's DeepSeek AI model has threatened OpenAI's market dominance by significantly undercutting their pricing structure, impacting their competitive edge.
Amid geopolitical tensions, lawmakers are looking to regulate DeepSeek due to concerns over user data security and its implications for US-China relations.
