Sam Altman, the Open AI founder and CEO, said he was “absolutely wrong” about antisemitism not being “as bad as people say,” especially on the left.

Altman, who recently struggled to manage the company he founded back from the board of directors, took to X on Thursday night to discuss the massive wave of protests in the US.

The founder of ChatGPT, who is Jewish, said that “for a long time” he believed that antisemitism was “not as bad” as people say.

“For a long time I have said that the opposition, especially on the American left, is not as bad as people say,” Altman said. “I want to say that I was very wrong.”
