OpenAI’s Sam Altman Seeks Investment For AI Chip Factories

244

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is seeking to raise billions of dollars to set up a network of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chip factories that will manufacture semiconductors, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

All About The New Venture

  1. Sam Altman, who was ousted from OpenAI last November before being quickly reinstated, is seeking to raise vast sums of money for chip fabrication plants – known as ‘fabs’.
  2. Notably, manufacturing chips are expensive as they require ample amounts of natural resources apart from funding.
  3. According to the report by Bloomberg, Altman’s new project would involve working with top chip manufacturers and the network of the chip factories would be global in scope.
  4. Intel, Taiwanese chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, and Samsung Electronics are potential partners for OpenAI in the new venture, the report said.
  5. While the current status of the talks for the chip project with G42 and SoftBank Group is not yet clear, the report mentioned that G42 – with whom Altman partnered in October last year – had focused on raising eight to ten billion dollars.

Rapid Evolution

Meanwhile, Altman on Thursday said artificial intelligence is evolving much more rapidly than previous technologies. Speaking during an interview with Axios at Davos, Altman said AI products will have to allow a lot of individual customization that will make a lot of people uncomfortable.

“If the country said, you know, all gay people should be killed on sight, then no …that is well out of bounds. But there are probably other things that I don’t personally agree with, but a different culture might. …We have to be somewhat uncomfortable as a tool builder with some of the uses of our tools,” he said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.

The ChatGPT maker also added that soon, users may be able to ask AI about the most important emails they received in the day and let AI summarise it for them.

  1. It was great seeing how much work you put into it. The picture is nice, and your writing style is stylish, but you seem to be worrying that you should be presenting the next article. I’ll almost certainly be back to read more of your work if you take care of this hike.

  2. I loved even more than you will get done right here. The overall look is nice, and the writing is stylish, but there’s something off about the way you write that makes me think that you should be careful what you say next. I will definitely be back again and again if you protect this hike.
