Artificial Intelligence: Amazon invests more than the German government - who can limit this power?
The balance sheets of the large US tech companies now surpass those of states. A Handelsblatt analysis shows the deep power shift - and raises a crucial question.
Düsseldorf - At the United Nations Security Council in New York, a meeting where global decisions on war and peace are made, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is not a state leader but a representative of the software giant. He reads from a script, rarely breaking his gaze from the manuscript in front of him.
Altman addresses a new technology, one that can generate prosperity but also slip beyond human control. He warns that too much power could concentrate in too few hands. As a figure who wields significant power in this evolving world, Altman's concerns highlight the potential shift in the balance of power traditionally held by states, particularly in the context of technological advancements.
