OpenAI President Greg Brockman on GPT-5.5 “Spud,” AI Model Moats, and Cybersecurity Risks

OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman joins us to discuss OpenAI's newest model, SPUD, aka GPT 5.5, and where it leaves OpenAI competitively. That's coming up right after this. This episode is brought to you by Genesis. What does it actually take to put a genetic AI to work across an entire enterprise? I recently spoke with Genesis chairman and CEO Tony Bates about why orchestration is emerging as a competitive advantage in customer experience.

and what companies need to get right in the AI era. Then, I sat down with Adam Mitchell, head of Enterprise Business Solutions at Voya Financial to go inside a large-scale Agentic CX transformation, including the business decisions, trade-offs, and lessons along the way. You can watch both conversations now on my YouTube channel today. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast.
