Tech CEOs marvel - and worry - about Sam Altman's dizzying race to dominate AI
"In the past few weeks alone, the OpenAI cofounder and CEO signed blockbuster computing deals with AMD and Nvidia, bringing his startup's total dealmaking this year to about $1 trillion. The company launched Sora, an AI video app that gained more than 1 million users in its first five days, as well as Instant Checkout, a shopping feature for its ChatGPT chatbot. OpenAI also unveiled new AI-powered workplace tools that its employees are using internally, signaling a potential move into the enterprise software market."
"Altman "is one of the most ambitious founders out there," said Aaron Levie, CEO of cloud-storage company Box, who likened today's AI boom to the formative years of the internet and mobile computing. "He understands that these platform shifts come around once every decade or two decades. This is probably going to be the biggest one we've ever seen in tech." Levie and other tech leaders observing Altman from afar told Business Insider that success in entrepreneurship demands constant momentum."
