Greg Brockman, co-founder and president of OpenAI, is a dedicated leader known for his tireless work ethic, spending up to 100 hours per week on the organization, with a strong focus on coding. He's often described as the hardest worker at OpenAI.
Brockman, who exemplifies the concept of a "10x engineer," possesses an impressive background, including stints at Harvard, MIT, and Stripe before founding OpenAI in 2015. His vision is to amplify OpenAI's impact, not just individual productivity, and he actively seeks ways to accelerate the organization's progress.
Beyond his coding prowess, Brockman engages in strategic discussions, particularly around AI safety, a topic that has shaped OpenAI's direction and led to some internal divisions. He advocates for iterative deployment to ensure the responsible rollout of powerful AI models, emphasizing the importance of learning from each deployment and addressing issues as they arise in OpenAI's quest for artificial general intelligence (AGI)
