Sam Altman, the pioneer in artificial intelligence and the entrepreneur behind the company OpenAI, has what may be the simplest advice for people to succeed: just be clear about what you want. Atman also said that his company’s controversial ChatGPT AI platform will evolve in “uncomfortable” ways.
In an interview, Sam Altman told Axios’ Ina Fried that AI is evolving much more rapidly than previous technologies and that the evolution and proliferation of OpenAI’s technology will require “uncomfortable” decisions.
Sam Altman acknowledged that AI tech makes people uncomfortable. For example, last year’s major strikes by Hollywood actors and writers were caused by the fear that these people could soon be replaced entirely by AI tech.
