The boss of the firm behind ChatGPT and the UK technology secretary discussed a multibillion-pound deal to give the entire country premium access to the AI tool, the Guardian has learned.
Sam Altman, a co-founder of OpenAI, talked to Peter Kyle about a potential agreement to give UK residents access to its advanced product.
According to two sources with direct knowledge of the meeting, the idea was floated as part of a broader discussion in San Francisco about opportunities for collaboration between OpenAI and the UK.
Those close to the discussion say Kyle never really took the idea seriously, not least because it could have cost as much as £2bn. But the talks show the enthusiasm with which the technology secretary has embraced the artificial intelligence sector, despite concerns over the accuracy of some chatbot responses and implications for privacy and copyright.
A major sovereign state groveling before a US corporation. I want to throw up
It’s a non story. Sounds like someone from openai proposed it in a more broad conversation, the minister asked how much and that was it.
Airstrip One!
Grovelling is starmers fetish, man literally spends all day thinking of ways to debase himself and sell out the british public to the lowest bidder.
