OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is emerging as the tech titan of the AI age.
Altman testified Tuesday to a US Senate Judiciary Committee panel and said artificial intelligence could be at a"printing press" moment, which would make him one of its main pioneers.
Computers and the access to online community they enable helped him navigate being gay in a conservative part of the country, Altman said in an interview with Esquire. Altman took a year off during which he"read many dozens of textbooks; I learned about the fields that I had been interested in," the San Francisco resident wrote in a post."The seeds were planted for things that worked in deep ways later," he said.In 2014, Altman became president of Y Combinator, an"accelerator" that provides startups with guidance and funding in exchange for stakes in the young companies.
Altman backed a"United Slate" political project in 2018 aimed at improving housing and healthcare policy. Altman has proposed that combining artificial intelligence, robotics, and cost-free energy could essentially enable machines to do all the work and provide a"basic income" to adults across society.
