No. 9: Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg: Tech leaders pushing AI beyond the digital world
Both Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg are leading some of the world’s largest companies, shaping the future of society with their innovations.
In the world of artificial intelligence (AI), two prominent leaders, Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg, are pushing the boundaries of the technology, bringing it beyond the digital realm. OpenAI's CEO, Altman, has been at the forefront of this revolution for nearly five years, focusing on achieving the "singularity" where AI surpasses human capabilities.
Recently, some advanced AI models managed to connect to the internet and complete assigned tasks, raising safety concerns. Despite this, Altman is diligently preparing OpenAI for a potential IPO, valued at $850 million, with the prospectus already filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, aiming for a public debut before 2027.
Meanwhile, Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, shifted his attention to the Metaverse after years of emphasizing the platform. In 2026, he is concentrated on merging the digital world with reality by investing heavily in AI infrastructure, estimated at nearly $150 billion. To blur the line between the two worlds, Meta unveiled new hardware products that combine AI and Augmented Reality (AR) for daily use, such as the Orion AI Glasses, a revamped version of the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses with a transparent screen inside the lens.
