Among the guests, we said, there will also be Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, the San Francisco startup that amazed the world with ChatGpt and Dall-Etwo examples of generative artificial intelligence capable of imitating human creativity.
Altman’s speech – the first of a public nature in Italy – will offer the starting point for reasoning on the future of AIon its advantages but also on its limits and risks, almost a year after the launch of ChatGpt, a large linguistic model capable of understanding and writing a text like a man would.
With his connection – scheduled for the opening day of the conference – the CEO of OpenAI enriches a program already full of appointments and big names in the world of innovation. Starting with Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, who will dialogue with John Elkann, President of GEDI and CEO of Exor (the holding company that controls the Gedi Group’s publications, including La Repubblica).
In 2008, together with partners Nathan Blecharczyk and Joe Gebbia, Chesky created Airbnb, the internet platform that allows anyone to rent their own home – or one of its rooms – to those who travel for pleasure or for work. In December 2020, when it went public, Airbnb reached a value three times higher than that of the three main hotel chains in the world combined (Marriot, Hilton and Intercontinental). Chesky, with his 10.4 billion assets (Forbes data), is among the richest men on the planet.
What is the secret to pleasing everyone? Brian Chesky (CEO of Airbnb) figured it out by studying “Snow White”
