What happens when one of the most legendary minds in tech delves deep into the real workings of modern AI? A 2-hour long masterclass that you don’t want to miss. Bret Taylor, current chairman of OpenAI, unpacks why AI is transforming software engineering forever, how founders can survive acquisition (he’s done it twice), and why the true bottlenecks in AI aren’t what most think. Drawing on his extensive experiences at Facebook, Google, Twitter and more, he explains why the next phase of AI won’t just be about building better models—it’s about creating entirely new ways for us to work with them. Bret exposes the reality gap between what AI insiders understand and what everyone else believes.Listen now to recalibrate your thinking before your competitors do. (00:02:46) Aha Moments with AI(00:04:43) Founders Working for Founders(00:07:59) Acquisition Process(00:14:14) The Role of a Board(00:17:05) Founder Mode(00:20:29) Engineers as Leaders(00:24:54) Applying First Principles in Business(00:28:43) The Future of Software Engineering(00:35:11) Efficiency and Verification of AI-Generated Code(00:36:46) The Future of Software Development(00:37:24) Defining AGI(00:47:03) AI Self-Improvement?(00:47:58) Safety Measures and Supervision in AI(00:49:47) Benefiting Humanity and AI Safety(00:54:06) Regulation and Geopolitical Landscape in AI(00:55:58) Foundation Models and Frontier Models(01:01:06) Economics and Open Source Models(01:05:18) AI and AGI Accessibility(01:07:42) Optimizing AI Prompts(01:11:18) Creating an AI Superpower(01:14:12) Future of Education and AI(01:19:34) The Impact of AI on Job Roles(01:21:58) AI in Problem-Solving and Research(01:25:24) Importance of AI Context Window(01:27:37) AI Output and Intellectual Property(01:30:09) Google Maps Launch and Challenges(01:37:57) Long-Term Investment in AI(01:43:02) Balancing Work and Family Life(01:44:25) Building Sierra as an Enduring Company(01:45:38) Lessons from Tech Company Lifecycles(01:48:31) Definition and Applications of AI Agents(01:53:56) Challenges and Importance of Branded AI Agents(01:56:28) Fending Off Complacency in Companies(02:01:21) Customer Obsession and Leadership in CompaniesBret Taylor is currently the Chairman of OpenAI and CEO of Sierra.
