OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is once again in headlines after a report claimed that some of his colleagues believe he lacks deep technical expertise in programming and machine learning, despite leading one of the world’s most influential AI companies. According to a report by The New Yorker, several engineers and insiders who have worked with Altman said he does not have extensive experience in coding or machine learning. Some claimed that he has, at times, misused or confused basic technical terms while discussing AI systems. “Altman is not a technical savant—according to many in his orbit, he lacks extensive expertise in coding or machine learning. Multiple engineers recalled him misusing or confusing basic technical terms,” the report said, presenting a different image of Altman from his public persona as a leading voice in artificial intelligence.
