[Sam Altman looks off in the distance while wearing a suit without a tie. ] Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images A.I.’s big year Just before Thanksgiving, a Silicon Valley giant appeared to implode before our eyes. A boardroom coup at OpenAI, the world’s hottest artificial intelligence company, pushed out its charismatic leader, Sam Altman.

In reality, it was more than a decade in the making. A.I. had been simmering in the tech world, as powerful figures poured money into research and fought with one another over heady questions of humanity, philosophy and power. This week, with our colleagues Mike Isaac and Nico Grant, we published a series recounting the recent history of A.I. and looking ahead to its future. In today’s newsletter, we explain what we learned. Egos and breakthroughs Powerful tech leaders — including Altman, Elon Musk and the Google co-founder Larry Page — were developing A.I. systems for years before the technology went mainstream. The men bickered over whether it would end up harming the world; some, including Musk, feared that A.I. would turn dystopian science fiction into reality, with computers becoming smart enough to escape human control. At the heart of these disagreements was a brain-stretching paradox: The men who said they were most worried about A.I. were among the most determined to create it. They justified that ambition by saying that [they alone had the morals and skill to prevent A.I.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVYPsP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wMy90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FpLW9wZW5haS1tdXNrLXBhZ2UtYWx0bWFuLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMTIwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDk2Mjkmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MjA0MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZWjs_nJl-llNC1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) tools from becoming rogue machines that could endanger humanity. Eventually, these disputes led them to split off and form their own A.I. labs. Each schism created more competition, which pushed the companies to advance A.I. even faster. A ‘fatal error’ The newly formed A.I. labs improved their technology over years. But nothing captured the public’s attention like ChatGPT, OpenAI’s chatbot, which debuted last year. It was an enormous hit, attracting millions of users with its ability to write poetry, summarize research and mimic everyday conversation. Our reporting found that Altman and OpenAI [did not appreciate what they were about to unleash](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVYPsP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wNS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FpLWNoYXRncHQtZ29vZ2xlLW1ldGEuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMxMjA4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwOTYyOSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUyMDQzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplaOz-cmX6WU0LUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) when they released ChatGPT. Internally, the company called the chatbot a “low key research preview.” Researchers and engineers at OpenAI were instead focused on developing more advanced technology. ChatGPT’s popularity supercharged the competition at big tech companies like Google and Meta, Facebook’s parent company, which raced to get their own products into the world. Though the companies were concerned that their A.I. chatbots were inaccurate or biased, they put those worries to the side — at least for the moment. As one Microsoft executive wrote in an internal email, “speed is even more important than ever.” It would be, he added, an “absolutely fatal error in this moment to worry about things that can be fixed later.” A.I. has since sneaked into daily life, through chatbots and image generators, in the word processing programs you might use at work, and in the seemingly human customer service agents you chat with online to return a purchase. People have already used it to create sophisticated phishing emails, cheat on schoolwork and spread disinformation.

As Altman raced to advance the technology, some directors on the nonprofit’s board worried he was not being honest with them and felt they could no longer trust him to prioritize safety. That one person could be so central to the future of A.I. — and perhaps humanity — is a symptom of the lack of meaningful oversight of the industry. A.I. systems are advancing so rapidly and unpredictably that even on the rare occasions lawmakers and regulators have tried to tackle them, their proposals quickly become obsolete, as our colleagues Adam Satariano and Cecilia Kang [found](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVYPsP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wNi90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FpLXJlZ3VsYXRpb24tcG9saWNpZXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMxMjA4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwOTYyOSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUyMDQzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplaOz-cmX6WU0LUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). For example, European regulators proposed [“future proof” rules](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVYPsP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8xNi9idXNpbmVzcy9hcnRpZmljaWFsLWludGVsbGlnZW5jZS1yZWd1bGF0aW9uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMTIwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDk2Mjkmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MjA0MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZWjs_nJl-llNC1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) in mid-2021 that limited how A.I. could be used in sensitive cases, such as in hiring decisions and law enforcement. But the regulations did not contemplate the advances behind ChatGPT, which was released a year and a half later. The absence of rules has left a vacuum. The leading A.I. companies have proposed some voluntary guidelines — like using watermarks to help consumers spot A.I.-generated material — but it’s not clear how much they will matter. European regulators this week are in marathon sessions to write the world’s strictest A.I. regulations, and they will be worth watching. In the meantime, companies continue to push ahead. On Wednesday, Google [demonstrated](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVYPsP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wNi90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2dvb2dsZS1haS1iYXJkLWNoYXRib3QtZ2VtaW5pLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMTIwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDk2Mjkmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MjA0MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZWjs_nJl-llNC1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) a powerful new A.I. system called Gemini Ultra, even though Google hasn’t yet completed its customary safety testing.
