The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has become one of the most prominent leaders in the development of artificial intelligence.

On today’s show, Host David Gura is joined by Ellen Huet, host of Bloomberg Technology’s podcast Foundering: The OpenAI Story. Huet spent months talking to people who know Altman, including some of the world’s biggest investors, his mentors and even his sister.
