OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: ChatGPT & Building a New World 05/05/23

After a meeting at the White House with fellow tech CEOs, OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman discusses his effort to build a product that “works for the world as a whole.” One of the entrepreneurs behind ChatGPT, Altman explains why his “listening tour” with Operation Hope’s John Hope Bryant is important to the technology’s development. He and Bryant discuss building tech to work for people beyond Silicon Valley, and Altman responds to the now-viral letter from his co-founder Elon Musk and others, calling for a pause in AI development. Plus, Apple’s strong iPhone sales helped boost its financial results this quarter, and Becky Quick is in Omaha, Nebraska for the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting.
