I will officially start at OpenAI as CEO of Applications on August 18. I am sharing this essay on why I believe AI can be the greatest source of empowerment for all.

If we compared AI capabilities against humans with no access to tools, such as the internet, we would probably find that AI already outperformed humans at many or most cognitive tasks we perform at work.
