In a surprising move, OpenAI's Chief Financial Officer, Sarah Friar, has referred to Donald Trump as the "President of this AI generation." This endorsement comes as a shock, given the controversy surrounding Trump's stance on AI and technology.¹
Friar's statement was made in response to concerns raised by Elon Musk, a longtime critic of Trump's AI policies. Musk has been vocal about the dangers of unchecked AI development, and has called for stricter regulations. However, Friar downplayed these concerns, stating that OpenAI trusts Musk as a competitor.
Friar's comments have sparked a heated debate in the tech community, with some hailing Trump's leadership on AI issues and others criticizing his lack of understanding of the technology. As the AI landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Trump's policies will shape the industry.
