Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGpt developer Openai, announced the birth of the boy via Surrogacy in a post to X over the weekend. Altman married software engineer Oliver Mulherin in 2024.
Sam Altman, CEO of AI Powerhouse Openai, shared news about the birth of a baby on social media over the weekend. Tech Mogul used X to showcase his latest addition to his family, born through a surrogate mother, along with close-up photos of his newborn holding an adult finger. Altman wrote: I have never felt that kind of love. ”
Altman revealed that the baby will arrive earlier than expected and will require specialized care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for some time.
Altman, who is married to software engineer Oliver Mulherin, has yet to say whether he intends to take paternity leave. The San Francisco-resident couple has maintained a relatively private relationship and made one of their first public appearances at a 2023 White House dinner. Information about the surrogate is not publicly known.
Altman's X post has been quite controversial, as evidenced by the top reply.
However, Altman received praise from Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft and one of Openai's main partners.
The announcement comes at a busy time for Altman and Openai. This is because the company has undergone a major transition from nonprofits to for-profit subsidiaries. In December, Openai announced plans to move management of its day-to-day operations to a commercial sector. This is a move that attracts legal challenges from competitors such as Elon Musk.
In the January episode of Re: I'm thinking of a podcast Hosted by Adam Grant, Altman shared his thoughts on the future of AI and its impact on the next generation. He says that children born in the next few years will never know the world without AI that surpasses human intelligence. And of course, it's smarter than us. Of course, it can do things we can't, but who really cares? I think this one transition time is odd for us. ”
