內容簡介

內容簡介 一部描繪科技新巨頭－－OpenAI執行長山姆・奧特曼的首部傳記，由《華爾街日報》資深記者基奇・海吉（Keach Hagey）撰寫，深入剖析這位AI革命的領導者。 ⭐《出版人週刊》星級推薦：「第一本全面描寫這位科技新星的傳記，為後來者樹立了極高標準。」 ⭐《柯克斯評論》星級推薦：「傳記、金融科技報導與未來學的完美結合。」 2022年11月30日，OpenAI推出了ChatGPT，一款能與人類展開近乎自然對話的聊天機器人，震撼全球。不到一年後，2023年11月17日，OpenAI執行長山姆・奧特曼卻被董事會透過一通視訊電話閃電解雇——引發全球關注。 奧特曼是OpenAI的創辦人之一，也是人工智慧（AGI，通用人工智慧）領域最具指標性的人物。但就在短短幾天內，他奇蹟般重返公司，當初投票將他解雇的董事多數也被撤換。這場風波展現了產業變化的速度，也顯現奧特曼重塑現實的力量。 在這本內容詳實、觀點深刻的傳記中，作者描繪奧特曼在聖路易斯的童年、早期創業失敗，到成為創業教父保羅・葛拉漢的門徒，接掌Y Combinator，化身矽谷權力掮客；接著創立OpenAI、組建精銳團隊、迎戰包括馬斯克在內的強敵——並試圖在風險與倫理之間，保持領先。 本書基於逾250場採訪，包括奧特曼的家人、朋友、老師、導師、共同創辦人、投資人與對手——還有他本人。最終勾勒出這位充滿魅力的決策者，一位視科技進步為信仰、勇於冒險、擁抱未來的人，同時也常令周遭人感到步伐太快。 在AI的機會與危機與日俱增之際，The Optimist為這位AI先行者勾勒出一幅極富層次、令人既生敬畏又起質疑的肖像，講述這位「智慧時代」的推手，以及他筆下未完待續的未來小說。 From an acclaimed Wall Street Journal reporter comes the first biography of the enigmatic leader of the AI revolution, charting his ascent within the tech world as well as his ambitions for this powerful new technology.On November 30, 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a chatbot that captivated the world with its uncanny ability to hold humanlike conversations. Not even a year later, on November 17, 2023, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, was summarily fired on a video call by the company’s board. The firing made headlines around the globe: OpenAI is the leader in the race to build AGI―artificial general intelligence, or AI that can think like a human being―and Altman is the most prominent figure in the field. Yet it was mere days before Altman was back running the company he had co-founded, with most of the directors who voted to fire him themselves removed from the board.The episode was a demonstration of how quickly the industry is moving, and of Altman’s power to bend reality to his will. In The Optimist, the Wall Street Journal reporter Keach Hagey presents the most detailed account yet of Altman’s rise, from his precocious childhood in St. Louis to his first, failed startup experience; his time as legendary entrepreneur Paul Graham’s protégé and successor as head of Y Combinator, the start-up accelerator where Altman became the premier power broker in Silicon Valley; the founding of OpenAI and his recruitment of a small yet superior team; and his struggle to keep his company at the cutting edge while fending off determined rivals, including Elon Musk, a former friend and now Altman’s bitter opponent.Hagey conducted more than 250 interviews, with Altman’s family, friends, teachers, mentors, co-founders, colleagues, investors, and portfolio companies, in addition to spending hours with Altman himself. The person who emerges in her portrait is a brilliant dealmaker with a love of risk, who believes in technological progress with an almost religious conviction―yet who sometimes moves too fast for the people around him. With both the promise and peril of AI increasing by the day, Hagey delivers a nuanced, balanced, revelatory account of the individual who is leading us into what he himself has called “the intelligence age.”Altman is a figure out of Isaac Asimov or Neal Stephenson. Or he is the author himself: if it feels as though we have all collectively stepped into a science fiction short story, it is Altman who is writing it.
