Part 9/12:
While OpenAI accelerates toward AGI, other organizations are taking more cautious approaches. One notable competitor is DoriSmar, founded by ex-OpenAI staff, which has distanced itself from the rapid, riskier development path. Led by CEO Amod Anthrop, DoriSmar envisions “superintelligent AI” potentially arriving as soon as 2026, but with a focus on safety and controllability.
Anthropic, another key player, has shifted from a cautious, safety-first stance to a more aggressive pursuit of powerful models, supported by billions in funding from Amazon. CEO Dhanishth A. Amid emphasizes responsible AI development, but the overall industry tension between safety and rapid innovation remains palpable.
