According to people familiar with the matter, last month, Adam DAngelo, director of the board of directors of OpenAI, called Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks, a big data company, to ask if he would consider joining the board of directors of OpenAI. A person familiar with the matter said that DAngelo's approach may be motivated by non-profit considerations, that is, to prioritize limiting the harm of AI to society rather than making money first. Ghodsi has always positioned the company as a quasi-competitor to OpenAI, and has publicly advised major customers to develop their own AI models or custom Open Source models, rather than relying on OpenAI's closed-source models.
