OpenAI's recent turmoil, including the unexpected firing and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman, has raised questions about the safety and ethics of artificial intelligence. The company's rapid development and potential valuation of $90 billion have raised concerns about the consolidation of power in the AI industry. The events may accelerate an arms race among competitors vying for artificial general intelligence, with concerns about control and concentration of power in the hands of a few. However, the upheaval may also present opportunities for other players to emerge and for creative solutions to be explored.
