OpenAI CEO: “My kids will never be smarter than AI.” He admitted that ChatGPT is the foundation of his parenting style
OpenAI founder and CEO Altman believes that children born today will perceive intelligent AI as something natural, as part of the world that «has always been this way.»
OpenAI founder and CEO Altman believes that children born today will perceive intelligent AI as something natural, as part of the world that «has always been this way.»
In the first episode of the new OpenAI podcast, Altman talks about how AI is helping him raise his newborn son. «Obviously, people were raising kids before ChatGPT, but I don’t know how I would have managed without it,» he says. «I used ChatGPT all the time for the first few weeks after my son was born. Now I’m asking him about his developmental milestones because I can handle the basics myself.»
Altman admits that he thinks a lot about how his children will interact with AI in the future, and he makes no secret of the fact that AI will become a big part of their lives — for better or worse.
«My children will never be smarter than AI,» he said on the podcast. »And they will realize that — and they will have no problem with it. They will grow up to be much more capable than us, and they will be able to do things that we can hardly even imagine. And they will be skillful in using AI.»
Altman believes that children born today will perceive intelligent AI as something natural, as part of the world that «has always been this way.»
«They will use it extremely naturally and look at our time as a prehistoric era,» he added.
However, not everyone shares this optimism. Yin Xu, an associate professor at the Harvard School of Education, notes that while AI can be useful in learning, for example as a conversationalist for vocabulary development, it cannot replace live communication, which is critical for the development of language and social skills.
Other risks, including privacy, are also a concern. One of the most disturbing cases occurred this year, when a 14-year-old boy committed suicide after falling in love with a chatbot. The organization Common Sense Media called for banning the use of such platforms for those under 18.
Altman acknowledges that while AI has many benefits, not all of them will be positive.
«I suspect we’re in for trouble. People will start to form toxic or overly emotional connections with AI, and society will be forced to build new constraints. But the benefits will also be enormous,» he concluded.
