OpenAI CFO Calls Trump AI Generation President

During the Reuters NEXT conference, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar referred to President-elect Donald Trump as the 'president of this AI generation', highlighting the critical infrastructure developments in artificial general intelligence (AGI) occurring under his administration. She expressed confidence in Elon Musk, a close adviser to Trump and co-founder of OpenAI, downplaying concerns about his public criticisms of the company's restructuring. Musk, now leading xAI, has been tasked with heading a government efficiency task force alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. Friar also announced high demand for OpenAI's new video generation tool, Sora, which has seen account creation paused to ensure a controlled rollout. She emphasized a cautious approach to product releases, prioritizing safety and user feedback. Looking ahead, Friar expects significant advancements in AI agent technology in the coming year.
