Elon Musk and a group of investors have proposed a $97.4 billion acquisition of OpenAI, with a focus on accelerating ethical AI development. The bid, reported by The Wall Street Journal, reflects Musk’s commitment to ensuring that artificial intelligence technologies are developed responsibly and in alignment with human values.
Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, has been a vocal advocate for AI safety and oversight. The proposed deal includes plans to expand OpenAI’s research capabilities while implementing stringent ethical guidelines. “This is about creating AI that serves humanity, not the other way around,” Musk stated.
The bid has generated mixed reactions, with some praising Musk’s vision and others expressing concerns about the implications of such a high-value acquisition. OpenAI, known for its groundbreaking AI models, has not yet responded to the offer.
