Sam Altman Once Told a Room of Investors His Plan For Profitability Was to Just ‘Ask AI’

The future of OpenAI depends on the company’s ability to follow through on one of its main promises, creating “artificial general intelligence.” Sam Altman, the company’s CEO, even said so himself. In a presentation about AI, Altman joked that he once promised his investors that while he doesn’t yet have a plan for how OpenAI might pay them back, he is hopeful that the “artificial general intelligence” he’s promised might solve that problem for him.

Altman, in his always clever and annoying way, said, “We’ll ask it [artificial general intelligence] how to make a return investment for you.” The response, while seemingly enough for OpenAI’s investors to sink billions into the company, also received some candid laughs.

Only time will tell if they were laughing at Altman or with him.
