ChatGPT-maker OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: I am only going to hire … is a misguided hiring strategy

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman advocates for a hiring approach that prioritises talent over age, emphasising the importance of maintaining a diverse workforce that combines both experienced professionals and promising young talent.
Speaking on “The Twenty Minute VC (20VC)” podcast, Altman highlighted the value of blending different experience levels within tech companies.
“A strategy that says ‘I’m only going to hire younger people,’ or ‘I’m only going to hire older people,’ I believe, would be misguided,” Altman stated in the November 4 episode.
