OpenAI: What鈥檚 going on and what does it mean for the future of AI?
The Silicon Valley drama raises big questions about AI鈥檚 use.
There鈥檚 been serious drama in Silicon Valley this week. On Friday the board of OpenAI, the multi-billion-dollar company behind ChatGPT, fired its CEO Sam Altman. By Wednesday he was back in the job. But this isn鈥檛 just an internal dispute for tech journalists. It鈥檚 about the future of artificial intelligence; whether it should be used for profit and whether it should be constrained.
大象传媒 tech reporter Shiona McCallum explains who Sam Altman is and how his most famous product, ChatGPT, works. Alex Rhodes breaks down a few of the most important AI terms being used at the moment. And to hear how other people away from Silicon Valley are using AI in their work, Valeria Diaz Romero from Bolivia talks about how her company uses it.
