Sam Altman... the man who shook the world of technology


Sam Altman, a 37-year-old computer pioneer whose name many people may not be familiar with, is shaking up the field of artificial intelligence. He leads OpenAI, the company that developed ChatGPT.


According to NBC News, artificial intelligence is a technology that has become extremely popular and has caused concern among competitors such as Google. As a result, he has passed billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to become the head of the tech industry.


Business Insider cited Altman's warning that artificial intelligence could take society to troubling new heights, emphasizing the importance of regulating the industry.


He wrote in a series of tweets that the transition to an era of artificial intelligence is "mostly good," adding that it might occur as swiftly as the shift to a world without smartphones.


But he stressed that societies will need time to adapt to the dramatic change in the field of artificial intelligence.


The man will have a great influence in the field of technology


According to Business Insider, Altman is the first person to discuss AI regulation since 2015. He previously wrote about the topic in his blog in March 2015, according to Business Insider.


While attending the World Government Summit in Dubai, Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI with Altman, said regulation is necessary because AI holds enormous promise as well as both positive and detrimental potential.


In an interview with CNBC, Musk discussed the need to regulate artificial intelligence, which, in his opinion, "presents a greater danger to society than cars, planes, or drugs."


Not afraid of big ideas.


Before turning 30, he was named president of Y Combinator, the incubator that helped launch businesses like Reddit, Airbnb, and Dropbox.


According to NBC, people who have worked with Altman praise his attitude toward technology. “Altman has a unique ability to see huge opportunities in new things, and to inspire others to work hard,” Aaron Harris, former partner at Y Combinator, wrote in an email to the website.


Large technology firms in China and the United States rushed to unveil their development of ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence technologies in February.


According to CNBC, US startup OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November in an effort to gain an edge over competitors. The company did not respond to a request for comment from the network.
