This week on the Freedom by Design podcast, we examine the OpenAI board’s rejection of Elon Musk’s $98 billion proposal to reshape the nonprofit’s future. Was this a necessary move to protect OpenAI’s mission, or did the board miss a critical opportunity to build trust and align with its original goals? We’ll analyze the board’s communication strategy, decision-making process, and what this means for the future of AI governance and leadership.

Later, we’ll use the Auth Q framework to evaluate the authenticity metrics behind these decisions and dive into how this impacts stakeholders. Finally, don’t miss our fireside chat with Dr. Ibrahim Abdullah, where we explore the global AI arms race, China's rapid advancements, and the implications for AI ethics and innovation worldwide.
