The controversy was triggered by the hiring of Ann O’Leary as Vice President of Global Policy at OpenAI. O’Leary previously served, among other roles, as chief of staff to California Governor Gavin Newsom. In response, Rouch stated that she herself is a longtime Republican. She also noted that OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to the MAGA movement.
Miller had earlier shared an image supporting Trump’s alleged plans to invade Greenland. The image showed the outline of Greenland covered by a U.S. flag with the caption “SOON.” The post sparked a diplomatic controversy, as Greenland is part of Denmark, and any invasion would amount to an attack on a NATO ally.
Conclusion
The controversy highlights growing political polarization around major AI companies and their leadership. As AI becomes more influential, its intersection with politics is likely to generate even stronger public and diplomatic debates.
