AI expert thinks OpenAI will be the 'most Orwellian company of all time'


AI expert Gary Marcus says OpenAI may be forced to "become a surveillance" company to make money. "The mask has come off," he told Business Insider.

"My guess is that OpenAI is going to become the most Orwellian company of all time," he said in a discussion with Google veteran Peter Norvig at Stanford's Center for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence last week. "OpenAI sold the dream of universal AI for all purposes, and in 2023 practically every big company ran pilot studies on that premise," he told Business Insider in a direct message on X. Snowden added at the time in a post on X that the "intersection of AI with the ocean of mass surveillance data that's been building up over the past two decades is going to put truly terrible powers in the hands of an unaccountable few."
