Han petades som vd men gjorde comeback bara dagar senare. Nu vänder sig Open AI:s vd Sam Altman till medarbetarna i ett öppet brev på företagets hemsida.

Open AI kan presentera magisk nyhet: "Det är jättestort"

Open AI kan presentera magisk nyhet: "Det är jättestort"

Det var i fredags som Reuters rapporterade att Open AI kan komma att visa upp en sökmotor på måndagskvällen. Den nya artificiella intelligensdrivna funktionen ska enligt källor till nyhetsbyrån kunna vara en konkurrent till Google. Men till skillnad från Google kommer sökmotorn kunna ge ett svar i text och även länkar till de källor informationen tagits ifrån. AI:n ska dessutom kunna översätta text till bilder och illustrationer. VD:n ger kryptiskt svar Men efter Reuters artikel dementerade Sam Altman, Open AI:s vd och grundare dessa uppgifter på plattformen X.

– Han sa att det inte alls handlade om att visa upp en sökmotor på måndagen utan om att visa upp magi, säger techreporter Evelina Galli.

Enligt Galli ryktas det istället handla om att Open AI kommer visa upp en ny smart röstassistent likt Siri.

– Assistenten ska kunna läsa av bilder men också förstå vad vi säger i till exempel ett telefonsamtal och till och med kunna läsa av vår tonalitet som om vi är ironiska, säger Galli. Pågår ett techkrig Hon menar att det inte är en slump att Open AI:s event hålls just under måndagskvällen eftersom Googles utvecklarevent hålls under tisdagen. – Google ryktades också visa upp en AI-assistent som heter Pixie så det är mycket som händer nu. Det är kaxigt att planera ett event prick ett dygn innan en konkurrent. Open AI sägs också ha kontakt med Apple, en av Googles största konkurrenter om att implementera Open AI:s tjänster i framtida Iphones, säger Galli.

Swift utses till "årets person"

Swift utses till "årets person"

Time Magazine har sedan 1927 utsett årets person, grupp eller koncept som skapat flest rubriker, på gott och ont. Bland tidigare vinnare finns namn som Volodymyr Zelenskyj, Adolf Hitler och den svenska klimataktivisten Greta Thunberg. 2023 får de sällskap av popartisten Taylor Swift. – Det känns som ett genombrott i min karriär som hände vid 33 års ålder, säger hon till tidningen. Bland de som nominerats i år fanns, Barbie, kung Charles III, Trump-åklagarna, Sam Altman, vd för Open-AI, Kinas ledare Xi Jinping, och den ryska diktatorn Vladimir Putin. ”I en polariserad värld där så många traditionella starka krafter har det svårt har Taylor Swift hittat ett sätt att överbrygga gränser och vara en positiv inspirationskälla. Ingen annan på denna jord kan just nu dessutom beröra så många människor”, skriver Time i sin motivering. Swift lyfte sin superstjärnestatus till ännu en högre nivå med årets stora världsturné som satte intäktsrekord i Nordamerika. Flera av hennes gamla låtar hamnade på topplistorna igen sedan hon gett ut dem på nytt.

Sam Altman: "Är säker – kommer skrivas böcker om den här tiden"

Det har varit en minst sagt turbulent tid på företaget Open AI. Sam Altman, ansiktet utåt för artificiell intelligens, fick sparken från bolaget den 17:e november. Styrelsens beslut möttes av enorma interna protester och nästan all personal hotade att säga upp sig. Fem dagar senare var han tillbaka på posten. I ett öppet brev tackar han nu medarbetarna. ”Ni stod upp för varandra, företaget och vårt uppdrag. En av de viktigaste sakerna för det team som bygger säker AGI är förmågan att hantera stressiga och osäkra situationer med ett gott omdöme. Toppbetyg”, skriver han i brevet. Han skriver även att Open AI har en ny initial styrelse. Greg Brockman är tillbaka som ordförande. I styrelsen finns bland annat Barack Obamas finansminister Larry Summers. ”Aldrig varit mer entusiastisk” ”Jag har aldrig varit mer entusiastisk inför framtiden. Jag är oerhört tacksam för allas hårda arbete i en oklar och aldrig tidigare skådad situation, och jag tror att vår uthållighet och anda gör oss unika i branschen.”, skriver Sam Altman. I det öppna brevet riktar även Altman ett särskilt tack till Ilya Sutskever – som anklagats för att stå bakom kuppen mot Altman. ”Jag älskar och respekterar Ilya, jag tycker att han är en ledstjärna inom branschen och en fantastisk människa. Jag hyser ingen illvilja mot honom. ” Altman tar även upp tre fokusområden för framtiden. Det handlar om att satsa på forskningen och investera ytterligare i säkerhet. Bolaget ska fortsätta att utveckla sin produkt och tillhandahålla sina kunder. Det sista prioriterade området är att att bygga ut styrelsen med en mångfald av perspektiv.

Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI

It is only a year since the controversial AI chatbot, ChatGPT was launched by Open AI, the company founded by this week's profilee, Sam Altman. For him the past year may have felt like a roller coaster but surely nothing compares with the last two weeks. Over the course of a week, he lost his job at Open AI and was immediately offered a job by Microsoft who'd invested heavily in the business. Next, Open AI employees threatened to resign in solidarity with their founder if he was not reinstated. The board had no choice but to take him back. Sam Altman is now back as CEO of Open AI, and those who ousted him are no longer on the board. But who is this relatively young tech entrepreneur who founded an AI company with Elon Musk and ran one of the most successful tech incubators in Silicon Valley? Timandra Harkness finds out.
