Bernie Sanders Calls for Breakup of OpenAI
"We need to take a deep breath and understand it's like a meteor coming,"
"We've got to be prepared to deal with all of its complexity."
"Our growth reflects something simple: People find what we're building useful,"
"The first step to a healthier market is to break up companies that are vertically integrated, so that platforms don't compete with their customers,"
Bernie Sanders urged the government to break up OpenAI and warned that AI advancement is accelerating like a meteor, requiring preparedness for complexity. The proposal faces long odds given political dynamics and major tech influence. The U.S. government has pursued both antitrust rhetoric and large AI investments, including a $500 billion Stargate initiative involving OpenAI. Market competition remains debated, with alternatives such as Google's Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude available. OpenAI defended its growth as user-driven and noted the field is shaped by well-resourced incumbents. Policy experts recommended breaking up vertically integrated platforms to protect market health.
