Can AI "Shape the Trajectory of Humanity"?

Each month, “Ammirati on Innovation” episodes will look at ways
that the disruptive-startup mentality is spreading beyond young
entrepreneurs to big established corporations. Serial
entrepreneur, venture capitalist and Carnegie Mellon B-school
professor Sean Ammirati, who sits at the intersection of these
high-change dynamics, provides insight.


Episode 4


In this episode, Sean and I discuss how Microsoft and OpenAI
announced a joint initiative, which they call AGI, and how $1
billion – no matter how big the company is – is a big investment.
I quote from Sam Altman, Chairman and former CEO of YCombinator
and now CEO of OpenAI, “The creation of AGI will be the most
important technological development in human history with the
potential to shape the trajectory of humanity.” Sean says Sam is
not someone you would bet against, because it is the best-run
tech accelerator out there. He then returns to how Bing feels
like the old Microsoft, not the new Microsoft. Sean then notes
that with challenge comes great opportunity, and people have some
really exciting opportunities in front of them.
