OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI
Lex Fridman Podcast #367
Recommendation
In a March 2023 podcast, MIT researcher Lex Fridman interviewed Sam Altman – CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and GPT-4 – about the future of AI. Many believe super-intelligent AI will provoke fundamental societal, political, and economic changes in people’s lifetimes. Will AI eliminate poverty and suffering or annihilate the human species? Will it take people’s jobs or make their work more rewarding? Such conversations between political leaders, scientists, engineers and philosophers are critical before this emerging intelligence – however it manifests itself – falls into the wrong hands.
