OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is fully prepared to be replaced by AI.
He said he’d be ashamed if his own company isn’t the first one led by an AI CEO.
And, once he is replaced, he said he would like to be a farmer.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is biding his time until AI replaces him.

He said he’d be ashamed if OpenAI isn’t the first company run by an AI CEO.

“Shame on me if OpenAI is not the first big company run by an AI CEO,” Altman said on the “Conversations with Tyler” podcast on Wednesday.

Altman said he often ponders the question: “What would have to happen for an AI CEO to be able to do a much, much better job of running OpenAI than me?”

While there’s still work to be done before that day arrives, Altman said he thinks about how the process can be accelerated. He said it’s only a matter of single-digit years before AI is capable enough to run a major department within OpenAI.

When those days come, Altman said he already has his next job lined up.

“I have a farm that I live some of the time and I really love it,” he told Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner in an interview in October.

Before ChatGPT took off, Altman said he had more time on the farm. He used to “drive tractors and pick stuff,” he said.

Over the years, he has purchased multimillion-dollar residences in San Francisco and Napa, California, as well as a $43 million estate on the Big Island of Hawaii.

“In the short term, AI will destroy a lot of jobs. In the long term, like every other technological revolution, I assume we will figure out completely new things to do,” he told Dopfner.
