OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sits down for an extended interview after the ChatGPT-5 launch this week. In a wide-ranging conversation, Altman discusses the impact his AI is having on human agency and hints at the world he envisions, as AI becomes more integrated into every aspect of society. He explains the expensive bet he’s making on Silicon Valley’s top AI talent, as well as his decision to keep pushing innovation–before focusing on his OpenAI’s profitability. Plus, Intel is still in focus on Capitol Hill and Wall Street.
