OpenAI CEO visits Israel to discuss AI’s opportunities and risks
Israeli President Isaac Herzog met on Monday morning with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, whose ChatGPT has quickly become an international sensation.
Launched in November, ChatGPT is an artificially intelligent chatbot that can have human-like conversations, answer questions and assist people in writing assignments. The software has been made available to the public through an app, and millions of users have used it primarily for writing and research.
Herzog made waves in February when, while addressing a Tel Aviv cybertech conference, said that part of his speech was written by ChatGPT.
Herzog told Altman how he used ChatGPT to prepare for their meeting.
“I wrote my talking points myself as you can see, but before our meeting this morning I asked ChatGPT, ‘What should I talk about with Sam Altman?’ and the software recommended me to talk about morality, ethics and the development of the partnership with Israel,” the president said.
