OpenAI Chairman Says AI Is Destroying His Sense of Who He Is

For being poised to become the richest startup in history, OpenAI's architects seem strikingly ambivalent about its work. The company's CEO is constantly afraid of the technology he's unleashing on the world, a longstanding investor has been driven to what his peers say are signs of psychosis, and even its chairman is panicking about losing his identity to the machine.
