Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI and behind the popular artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, was named “CEO of the year” by Time magazine. Altman, who recently took back control of the company he founded from the board of directors, has returned to the forefront of artificial intelligence development. Altman told Time magazine that OpenAI will be in the AI race for the foreseeable future unless it “fails really badly.”Sam Altman was named CEO of the year
Altman, who recently took back control of the company he founded from the board of directors, continues the artificial intelligence race from where he left off. Altman, who was chosen as the CEO of the year by Time magazine, said in his statement: “Building super intelligence will be a project that covers the entire society. We would like to be one of those shaping this, but this will not be something just one company will do. “It will be something much bigger than any one company.” said. Altman says that if they don’t fail badly, OpenAI will have a role in shaping artificial intelligence.
Sam Altman and OpenAI drama
Altman confirmed last month that he was returning to the helm of OpenAI as CEO, about two weeks after he was fired from the company he co-founded.
After Altman’s dismissal, OpenAI went into turmoil, almost all of the company’s 770 or so employees signed a letter threatening to join Microsoft if Altman was not reinstated, and at the end of the process, the board of directors was purged and renewed.
On the other hand, we are still waiting for a final answer as to why OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was unceremoniously fired from the company last month and reinstated after several days of complete chaos. A number of theories have since emerged behind what happened, from the mysterious Q* next-generation AI model that is potentially dangerous to simple boardroom drama.
Judging by recent news, Altman’s own personal investments may have also played a role. According to Wired, OpenAI signed a letter of intent with a company called Rain AI, in which Altman had previously invested, to invest $51 million for artificial intelligence chips. Naturally, it seems that Altman has a financial interest in this situation. This raises ethical questions at the already strangely structured OpenAI and further mystifies one of the most surprising tech stories of the year.Rain, a San Francisco-based company, hopes to replicate some functions of the human brain using a computer chip called a “neuromorphic processing unit.” According to documents obtained by Wired, Altman had invested more than $1 million in the company before the letter of intent. On the other hand, OpenAI has not made a final agreement with Rain so far. It is currently a mystery how much of a role the intertwining of Altman’s personal affairs and OpenAI’s affairs played in his dismissal.
