AI overview

Ethan Mollick said a growing gap between AI labs’ internal models and those they release could increasingly tempt OpenAI and Anthropic to enter new markets directly, especially finance and biotech. His statement described a potential incentive, rather than announcing a move by either company. Mollick attributed the widening gap to safety concerns and the labs’ interest in retaining research advantages. He argued that access to stronger internal models could give the companies an advantage they would be tempted to exploit in those markets.
