HIBT Lab! OpenAI: Sam Altman

Mm. Hello and welcome to how I built this lab. I'm Guy Raz. So artificial intelligence is getting really good. Really fast. For many years most of us assumed AI was gonna replace jobs in manufacturing in the service sector.

But what's actually happening is that machine learning devices are becoming much more adept at generating things we often associate with human creativity. You might have seen that piece of digital art that recently won a competition in Colorado. Art work completely drawn by a piece of software. AI software is getting really good at composing original music, even writing newspaper articles. And it means that in the not too distant future.

Machines might be able to diagnose diseases or answer any questions we have, or maybe even solve some of the world's biggest problems. One of the pioneers in AI technology is a nonprofit company called OpenAI. It was co-founded by Sam Altman in 2015. Sam is the former president of the legendary tech incubator Y Combinator, the accelerator program that helped launch Airbnb, Stripe. Coinbase, StorDash, and so many others.
