Sam Altman: The Man Behind Innovation and Ideas

Sam Altman: The Man Behind Innovation and Ideas Sam Altman is one of those names you can’t ignore if you're even mildly interested in technology, startups, or the future of humanity. He's like that one overachiever in your class who doesn’t just stop at getting an A but also starts a club, wins a science fair, and somehow still has time to play the guitar. Born in 1985 in Chicago, Altman is best known for his role as the CEO of OpenAI, where he’s busy shaping the future of artificial intelligence. But before he became the guy in AI, he was already making waves. He co-founded Loopt, a location-based social networking app, back in 2005. Spoiler alert: It didn’t work out (sold for $43 million—not exactly pennies, though).
