OpenAI founder Altman is married?
Finance Associated Press, January 11 (Editor Zhao Hao) Based on multiple sources, Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, the world's top artificial intelligence research company, may have recently gotten married.
It is understood that Altman and his partner posted photos of the wedding scene on their Instagram social accounts, but because the ins accounts of both of them are private, not many people can read the posts. And the one who has attracted the most attention from the outside world is naturally Altman's other half - Oliver Mulherin.
According to sources, Altman and Malhelin's wedding was held in Hawaii on January 10 local time, near Altman's luxury estate. Only some family and friends were invited to the low-key wedding, which was officiated by Altman's younger brother, Jack Altman.
Photos show no more than 15 people in attendance, with Altman, Malhellin and Jack all dressed in casual suits: white shirts, light beige pants and white sneakers. In his description, Malholin wrote, "Married to my best friend and the love of my life. ”
After this news spread, many netizens were surprised by Altman's sexual orientation, and some even thought that the picture was "synthesized by artificial intelligence". In this regard, some AI industry insiders proved the authenticity of the wedding and expressed their blessings to the couple.
This may not be all the less surprising to those who have been following Altman's movements for a long time. On June 22 last year, the two attended a White House dinner together to welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States, where tech leaders such as the CEOs of Apple, Google and Microsoft were also invited as guests.
Like Altman, Malhelin is also interested in artificial intelligence, and can be considered an AI practitioner. Born in Melbourne, Australia in 1993, he joined Facebook (now Meta) after graduating from the University of Melbourne with a degree in software engineering, where he was involved in the company's AI research.
In 2018, Malholin left Meta to join the IOTA Foundation as a software developer, focusing on industrial solutions for software and hardware. At the moment, there is little clarity about Mulhelin's work, and there is speculation that he may join OpenAI. There are reports that Malhelin has been in a relationship with Altman since 2019, and they live in San Francisco, California.
Altman told Time magazine in an interview that he was faced with "an existential struggle for control of the company" before last year's Thanksgiving holiday, when he was removed from OpenAI's board of directors and kicked out of the company, but was eventually reinstated after the efforts of his colleagues.
Altman said he was tired after the struggle, and when he returned to San Francisco, he put his computer aside, cooked vegan pasta, and turned up the music at a high volume while drinking with Malhelin.
