OpenAI President Greg Brockman: Our Plan To Merge Chat And Agents

In 2015, Greg Brockman, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman started a nonprofit called OpenAI. And the plan was to pursue artificial general intelligence. The company, or the nonprofit, when it was a nonprofit back then, began in Greg Brockman's living room and These folks were convinced that achieving artificial general intelligence or AI on par with human intelligence was possible. And to be honest, most people in the valley thought that that was an interesting side project, but most of the attention was on social media at the time.

Well, fast forward 11 years, and here we are. OpenAI is probably going to go public within the next year at a trillion dollar valuation. They're going to announce likely you know, because third-party data is showing at a billion users in Chat GPT fairly soon. And they, of course, raised the largest venture capital round in history at 122 billion.

So they are at the the leading edge of a technology that has captured all of our attention and is changing the world. And so when you listen to Greg Brockman, one of the things that you can see even from his conversations all the way in the past is a clear conviction and an understanding of where this technology would lead and where the products would go. It's amazing. You listen to the podcasts from pre-Chat GPT or really in the early days of the GPT models, and you can hear Greg speaking with absolute clarity about where the models and applications would go today.
