00:00Sam Altman, who's in charge of OpenAI, and Johnny Ive, who used to design stuff for Apple, are working together on something special.
00:09They're calling it the iPhone of AI, but no one really knows what it is yet.
00:13What we do know is that it's not going to be a smartphone.
00:17They need a lot of money to make their dream a reality, so they're trying to gather funds.
00:22Right now, Sam and Joni are looking to get up to $1 billion for their secret AI gadget.
00:27They started a new company for this project and are hoping to get enough money to bring their idea to life.
00:32This gadget might work like some other smart devices out there, but it's not going to look like the phones we're used to.
00:39Sam Altman has already put some of his own money into similar tech, so their new thing might be kind of like that too.
00:46Sam and Joni are talking to big money people, trying to convince them to invest millions into their project.
00:51They think it's going to cost a lot to get their AI hardware out there for people to buy.
00:55Some of the big names they might get money from include SoftBank's Masayoshi-san, who has been chatting and brainstorming with them,
01:02as well as some groups that have helped fund OpenAI before.
01:05Joni Ive has some ideas about how we might use this device.
01:08It might work a bit like a computer, but it won't rely so much on screens.
01:12But since they're still figuring it all out, it could be a while before we see the final product.
01:17We're all waiting to hear more about what Sam Altman and Joni Ive are planning, so we'll keep an eye out for any news.
01:23Now, there's another story unfolding that connects to the ambitious project of Sam Altman and Joni Ive.
01:29While these two are busy gathering funds for their AI device, Elon Musk, the boss at Tesla,
01:34has been dealing with a bit of a challenge caused, in part, by the competitive spirit of OpenAI, where Sam Altman plays a leading role.
01:42Elon Musk has noticed that OpenAI has been quite eager to bring over engineers from Tesla, offering them really attractive salaries.
01:50Because of this, Musk decided it was time to increase the pay for Tesla's AI engineering team.
01:57He mentioned that OpenAI had managed to lure away some of Tesla's talent with these big offers.
02:02This move by Musk is a direct response to what he calls the craziest talent war I've ever seen in the AI space.
02:08This talent shuffle doesn't stop at Tesla and OpenAI.
02:12Ethan Knight, a machine learning scientist from Tesla, was in the spotlight for moving to Musk's own AI venture, XAI.
02:18This move came after Ethan was considering joining OpenAI.
02:22Musk shared this news, indicating that the competition for AI expertise isn't just among companies, but also involves personal projects of tech leaders.
02:30The battle for AI talent is fierce, with companies not just raising salaries, but also getting creative in how they recruit.
02:37For example, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Google's Sergey Brin have been personally reaching out to AI researchers and engineers to keep or bring them into their fold,
02:47with Zuckerberg even skipping the formal interview process in some cases.
02:51This intense competition underscores the high stakes in the AI industry,
02:56where everyone from established tech giants to innovative startups and personal ventures of tech moguls are all vying to secure the best minds.
03:04As Sam Altman and Johnny Ive push forward with their plans for a groundbreaking AI device,
03:10and Elon Musk ramps up efforts to keep his team together and competitive,
03:14it's clear that the race for AI dominance is more than just about technology, it's about securing the brightest brains in the field.
03:20Now, this is all linked to a big change at OpenAI, which plays into the wide array of tech ventures Sam Altman is involved with.
03:28OpenAI made some changes to how its investment fund is managed.
03:31This fund is there to support startups focused on AI.
03:35Before, Altman was pretty much running the show overseeing the fund himself.
03:39This was somewhat out of the ordinary, because even though the fund functioned like a typical company investment branch,
03:45it was really Altman leading the charge with money from external investors.
03:49Still, OpenAI made it clear that Altman wouldn't profit directly from the fund's performance.
03:54This adjustment came to light through a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
03:59marking a significant shift in how the fund will operate moving forward.
04:04Ian Hathaway, a partner in the fund since 2021, will now take over control, moving Altman away from a direct governance role.
04:10This change is said to bring more clarity to the fund's operations, which has raised $175 million from partners,
04:18including tech giant Microsoft, to invest in promising AI startups.
04:22The timing of these changes is intriguing, especially considering Altman's diverse investment interests,
04:27ranging from crypto to energy, and his ongoing efforts to fundraise in regions like the Middle East for his various ventures,
04:34including the mysterious AI device project with Joni Ive.
04:37Moreover, this shift in OpenAI's fund governance structure happened after an independent investigation into Altman's actions within OpenAI,
04:46which found no wrongdoing on his part regarding product safety or financial management.
