Altman’s tribute also came at a time when the businessman saw his life take a complete turn.
He’s already been considered one of the 100 most influential people in AI in 2023, but now he’s been named CEO of the Year. Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI and the “father” of ChatGPT, received the accolade from Time magazine this week.
Altman’s tribute also came at a time when the businessman saw his life take a complete turn. The founder of ChatGPT was fired from the company he founded, and five days later, under a lot of pressure, he was reinstated as CEO.
After creating an AI-related company when few people knew what it was, “Altman became one of the world’s most powerful and respected CEOs, the public face and chief prophet of the technological revolution,” the magazine describes.

Sam Altman is another success story, among dozens in Silicon Valley, who started a course, but didn’t complete it. The founder of ChatGPT studied computer science at Stanford University, but never completed it.
