Meet Emmett Shear: OpenAI's Controversial New CEO

Emmett Shear, former co-founder and CEO of Twitch, has been named the interim CEO of OpenAI, replacing Sam Altman. Shear, a well-known figure in Silicon Valley, took Twitch from a small livestreaming site to a global phenomenon before stepping down earlier this year. As the new head of OpenAI, Shear will face pressure from regulators scrutinizing AI model companies, particularly regarding the risks of misinformation and job displacement. Shear has previously expressed concerns about the potential dangers of AI, including the possibility of AI wiping out humanity.
