Sam Altman Not on White House AI Policy Committee Despite Signing Massive Government Deal

The White House nominates tech leaders for its AI advisory policy, including names like Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison, among others. OpenAI's Sam Altman didn't make it to the list. OpenAI helped the Pentagon access its LLM technology without any guardrails, a fact that Anthropic denied when it partnered with the US Department of Defence (Pentagon). The result of this move was massive criticism by the public, leading to mass uninstalls of ChatGPT, OpenAI's LLM chatbot. Despite all these, Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI, was not invited to the committee of advisors.
