"MY NOMINATION FOR THIS YEARS’ SAVVY AWARD IS SAM ALTMAN, CO-FOUNDER OF OPENAI. WITH THE RELEASE OF CHATGPT, THE FASTEST GROWING CONSUMER SOFTWARE IN HISTORY, THE PUBLIC GETS A GLIMPSE ON THE POWER OF ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE THROUGH A CONVERSATIONAL CHATBOT. ALTMAN IS AWARE OF THE SOCIETAL CHANGES & RISKS STEMMING FROM THE BROAD APPLICATION OF AI AND IS THEREFORE PROMOTING AN ETHICAL ACCESS TO THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY. IN MY VIEW, A CAUTIOUS BUT EMBRACING VIEW IS THE RIGHT APPROACH ON THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE."
