In a surprising turn, Sam Altman, the former CEO of OpenAI, is already exploring new horizons after his departure from the renowned AI company. Altman, a notable figure in the AI landscape, left OpenAI amidst concerns raised by the board about his lack of consistent transparency in managerial activities, which led to diminished confidence in his leadership.
Fresh off this unexpected exit, reports from The Information suggest Altman is discussing a new project, potentially with Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s former president. Earlier rumors hinted at a collaboration between Altman and design luminary Jony Ive for an ambitious “iPhone of Artificial Intelligence” project. However, Altman has described his ideas as preliminary.
Insiders reveal Altman and Ive’s aspirations to develop a device offering a more natural and intuitive interaction with AI, mirroring the transformative impact of touchscreen technology on the original iPhone. Funding for this venture reportedly involves Softbank Group’s chief Masayoshi Son, with a focus on leveraging Arm, a chip design company in which Son holds a substantial stake.
While Ive played a significant role in shaping the first iPhone, he has previously expressed concerns about smartphone addiction, emphasizing tech companies’ moral responsibility to anticipate unintended consequences. Altman’s departure marks a notable shift for OpenAI, leaving industry observers eager to see how the company navigates this change in leadership.
