There is increasing scrutiny in the AI space, particularly around leaders like Sam Altman due to the significant role companies like OpenAI play in the world, leading to expectations for continued scrutiny to improve the company. Additionally, there is a growing broader question around AI safety, with some impatience among people who expected immediate dire consequences and now see a more nuanced situation. Mainstream labs are diversifying their approaches to AI safety, with some like Thropic doubling down on commitments while others like OpenAI are exploring different strategies, creating a trend that is being closely observed.
