Sam Altman, an American entrepreneur, investor, and programmer, has taken the AI world by storm with his find, ChatGPT. This AI-powered chatbot can assist with assignments 24/7 and can hold conversations with users like a real human, and it’s all for free. Altman co-founded OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, with Elon Musk in 2015, with the aim of building a non-profit AI corporation that wouldn’t threaten human existence in the future.
Altman’s passion for investing and startup concepts led him to invest in and oversee numerous firms before focusing solely on OpenAI. He was a software engineer at Google, and in 2009, he launched Loopt, a location-based social networking company that was later acquired by Green Dot Corporation for USD 43.4 million in cash. Before launching OpenAI, Altman was the president of Y Combinator, a startup accelerator, and served as CEO of Reddit for eight days in 2014.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Altman has a net worth of $500 million, primarily from his early-stage investments in firms such as Airbnb, Pinterest, Stripe, and Reddit.
ChatGPT is making waves in the AI world. It’s a natural language processing tool powered by AI technology that can compose emails, articles, and code, and answer queries like a real human. According to Swiss bank UBS, ChatGPT is the fastest-growing app of all time, with 100 million active users in January, just two months after its launch.
OpenAI is also responsible for the development of DALL-E 2, a popular AI art generator, and Whisper, an automatic speech recognition system.
Elon Musk said, ChatGPT is scary good. We are not far from dangerously strong AI. OpenAI and ChatGPT are changing the AI game, and it is indeed an exciting time to witness the potentials of AI.
