Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating the headlines, but it’s not a new topic here on Exponential View. This week and next, Azeem Azhar shares his favorite conversations with AI pioneers. Their work and insights are more relevant than ever.

OpenAI has stunned the world with the release of its language-generating AI, ChatGPT-4.

They also explored:

  • How governance models need to change to address the growing power of technology companies
  • How Altman’s experience leading YCombinator informed his leadership of OpenAI
