OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman reflect on a decade of building the organization, emphasizing a partnership forged through constant communication and complementary roles. While Altman pushes for grander ambition and increased compute resources, Brockman provides disciplined focus on execution and the most critical priorities. Their shared history, beginning with a pivotal 2015 dinner, centers on the conviction that creating a lab for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) was both possible and necessary despite early industry skepticism. A defining element of their strategy is a unique approach to safety, which prioritizes iterative deployment and societal resilience over traditional academic or power-centric frameworks. This philosophy ensures that AI systems become increasingly safe as the stakes of the technology rise, moving beyond theoretical interventions to practical, real-world application through the OpenAI Foundation’s pillars.
