With Sam Altman (CEO of YCombinator) talking so much about AI safety and risk over the last 2-3 months, I was so sure that he was working out a deal to fund MIRI. I wonder why they decided to create their own non-profit instead.
Although on second thought, they're aiming for different goals. While MIRI is focused on safety once strong AI occurs, OpenAI is trying to actually speed up the research of strong AI.
It interesting that their project is called OpenAI while both Facebook and Google open sourced AI algorithms in the last month and a half.
Neither Google nor Facebook seems to be in the OpenAI list but Amazon Web Services does.
Infosys as the second largest Indian IT company is also an interesting part of the list of funders. There an article from yesterday about forming a new company strategy that involves relying heavily on AI.
I expect OpenAI to actually develop software in a way that MIRI doesn't.
