ChatGPT maker says era of remote work is over ChatGPT maker says era
of remote work is over

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has said that employees working
from office can create new products while remote work model creates
confusion. At a session organized by fintech company, Stripe, he
further added that we still don't have the technology that is needed
for people to go fully remote, as reported by India Today Tech.

Talking about work from home, Altman added that he considers remote
work as an experiment. He stated, "I think definitely one of tech
industry's worst mistakes in a long time was that everybody (thought
they) could go full remote forever, and startups didn't need to be
together. There was going to be no loss of creativity. I would say
that the experiment on that is over, and the technology is not yet
good enough that people can be full remote forever, particularly on
startups."

Prior to this, Altman has expressed his inclination towards working
from office. As per his tweet, "tech companies who rushed to full
remote permanently made a big mistake, and the cracks are starting to
show." He further added that OpenAI's some of the best talents are
working remotely. He said, "some of our best people are remote, and
we will continue to support it always, so please don't let hating SF
stop you from applying to OpenAI! I don't like the open air fentanyl
markets either."

Discussing about the importance of working from office for a startup,
Altman noted, "The more unclear and early the product is, the more
in-person time the team needs to grind together," he added.

Altman also spoke about the future of AI. According to Altman, AI
needs to be treated with "extreme seriousness" as the tech might have
"existential risk" attached to it.   

'Godfather of AI' , Geoffrey Hinton resigned from Google this week
and blew the whistle on AI, the technology he helped developing. He
further explained that the reason he decided to leave Google was so
that he could talk freely about potential dangers of AI, without
having Google attached to it.

It was recently reported by Reuters that The White House will host
CEOs of top artificial intelligence companies, including Alphabet
Inc's Google and Microsoft to discuss risks and safeguards of AI.
