Summary

Artificial Intelligence was once the realm of science fiction. But over the last several years, advances in machine learning and deep neural networks have moved us closer to a reality where computers can learn and solve problems independently, the way a human does. From art and music to medicine and politics, the potential applications of AI are nearly endless, and the technology just keeps getting better.

This week on How I Built This Lab, Guy talks with one of the leaders in the field of AI development, Sam Altman. Sam talks about his journey from Stanford dropout and teenage entrepreneur to president of the legendary startup incubator Y Combinator and co-founder of the nonprofit OpenAI. Plus, Sam shares his hopes and fears for the future of AI and how his company is working to ensure it ultimately benefits all of humanity.

0:42.0	summarized articles, conduct research, it can even generate computer code.
0:46.1	And while ChatGPT is still relatively new and still has a lot of room for improvement,

0:55.8	the future of work and education.

1:03.5	public schools, the largest school district in the country.
1:06.9	Anyway, back in the fall of 2022, I spoke with Sam Aldman, the co-founder of OpenAI.
1:12.2	It's a company behind ChatGPT and other AI tools like the Image Generator Dali.
1:18.4	We talked about the enormous potential of these tools to transform society, but also the
1:23.7	company's approach to preventing some of the more sinister applications of this technology.
1:30.0	With AI back in the news, we thought we'd bring you this conversation.
1:33.6	Once again, stick around.
