AI companies could enter new markets as internal and released models diverge, Ethan Mollick notes
AI labs could leverage models in finance

Ethan Mollick stated that as the difference between the internal artificial intelligence models maintained by leading AI labs and the versions they release to the public grows—due to safety and research considerations—it may become increasingly tempting for companies like OpenAI and Anthropic to leverage that advantage by moving directly into new markets, especially in finance and biotech.

Mollick has previously remarked that AI could reshape the economy but described 17.1% GDP growth over three years as historically unprecedented. He has also expressed suspicion about potential crypto-driven scams, noting bot activity amplifying X Money posts. These earlier observations add context to his ongoing focus on risks and opportunities arising from advanced AI technologies.
