Sam Altman says one of his biggest fears is that a small number of companies will control AI: 'That'd be very, very bad'

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expresses concern about 'AI authoritarianism' where a small number of companies or countries control AI technology. The debate over AI access intensified after the release of Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, a Chinese open-source model, prompting discussions on restricting Chinese models and global competition. Major tech companies like Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI urged Washington not to restrict open-source AI, while Anthropic remained neutral.
