Sam Altman says his own kids will 'never be smarter than AI'
OpenAI's CEO and cofounder, Sam Altman, recently said that new AI technology will have a net-positive impact on his infant son and potential future kids.
Altman, who announced the birth of his first child on February 22, said his kids will grow up to be more capable — but not more intelligent — because of tools like ChatGPT.
"My kids will never be smarter than AI," Altman said on the first episode of the OpenAI Podcast, released on Wednesday. "They will grow up vastly more capable than we grew up, and able to do things that we cannot imagine, and they'll be really good at using AI."
Altman said he thinks more about what AI will provide the next generation than what it will take away.
"I don't think my kids will ever be bothered by the fact that they're not smarter than AI," he added.
Shortly after, Altman reiterated that advancements in AI technology will likely yield problems for future societies and social systems, including an increased number of people who are dependent on these tools — but he believes the benefits will ultimately outweigh the drawbacks.
"Again, I suspect this is not all going to be good," Altman told the podcast's host, Andrew Mayne. "There will be problems. People will develop these somewhat problematic — or, maybe, very problematic — parasocial relationships, and, well, society will have to figure out new guardrails. But the upsides will be tremendous."
Altman, who described himself in the episode as "extremely kid-pilled" (meaning he believes "everybody should have a lot of kids"), also said ChatGPT plays a major role in his parenting style. He said in the first few weeks of his son's life, he was "constantly" asking the AI chatbot questions about how to provide basic care.
"Clearly, people have been able to take care of babies without ChatGPT for a long time," Altman said. "I don't know how I would have done that."
However, later in the episode, Altman also acknowledged that ChatGPT is known to "hallucinate" — that is, provide false information — and despite this, many users have placed a surprising amount of trust in the chatbot.
"People have a very high degree of trust in ChatGPT, which is interesting, because AI hallucinates," Altman said. "It should be the tech that you don't trust that much."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Says ‘We Are Heading Towards a World Where AI Will Just Have Unbelievable Context on Your Life'
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has called ChatGPT's new memory feature his 'favorite recent' advancement, but the technology's ability to remember and leverage deep context about users is raising as many questions as it answers. In a podcast released today, Altman described the feature as a 'real surprising level up,' saying, 'Now that the computer knows a lot of context on me, and if I ask it a question with only a small number of words, it knows enough about the rest of my life to be pretty confident in what I want it to do. Sometimes in ways I don't even think of. I think we are heading towards a world where, if you want, the AI will just have unbelievable context on your life and give you super, super helpful answers.' Is Palantir Stock Poised to Surge Amidst the Israel-Iran Conflict? CoreWeave Stock Is Too 'Expensive' According to Analysts. Should You Sell CRWV Now? 'It Has No Utility': Warren Buffett Doesn't Care How High Gold Goes, He Isn't a Buyer Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! The new memory feature allows ChatGPT to retain information from past interactions and build a persistent profile of each user's preferences, routines, and even personal milestones. This means the AI can provide more tailored, anticipatory responses — streamlining tasks, making recommendations, and even reminding users of important events or deadlines without being prompted. For many, this represents a long-awaited leap toward truly personal digital assistants, capable of understanding context and nuance in a way that feels almost human. However, this leap in convenience comes with significant privacy implications. Persistent memory means ChatGPT is storing more personal data than ever before, including potentially sensitive details about users' lives, work, and relationships. There are also concerns about how this data might be used for targeted advertising, profiling, or even surveillance. While much of this is just speculation right now, any large pool of stored data will inevitably become a target for bad actors. As scams become more elaborate, unauthorized access to a user's OpenAI account could spell disaster, as it would allow hackers access to sensitive work documents, fragile mental states, ongoing personal issues, and a host of other information. Even worse, bad actors could essentially use one's account as a search engine for detrimental information on that user. OpenAI has anticipated some of these concerns, and is promising robust user controls and transparency. According to the company, users will be able to review, edit, and delete their stored memories at any time. There will also be options to disable the memory feature entirely, reverting ChatGPT to a 'stateless' mode where no information is retained between sessions. Altman emphasized the importance of consent and user choice in the podcast, which hopefully means users currently have little to worry about. 'I hope this will be a moment where society realizes that privacy is really important,' Altman said during the interview. The introduction of persistent memory in consumer AI comes at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny. Lawmakers in the U.S., EU, and elsewhere are actively debating new rules for AI transparency, data retention, and user rights. OpenAI's approach to privacy and user empowerment could set a precedent for the industry, but it will also be closely watched by regulators and privacy advocates. Competitors such as Google (GOOGL) (GOOG), Meta (META), and Anthropic are reportedly developing similar features, suggesting that persistent memory may soon become standard in advanced AI systems. This raises the stakes for getting privacy protections right from the outset. For users, the promise of a digital assistant that truly 'knows' them is both exciting and unsettling. The convenience of having an AI that can anticipate needs, manage schedules, and offer personalized advice is undeniable. Yet, as Altman's comments make clear, this future depends on a delicate balance between utility and privacy. As AI systems become more deeply integrated into daily life, the conversation around memory, context, and consent will only grow more urgent. OpenAI's latest innovation is a glimpse of what's possible — but also a reminder that, in the world of intelligent machines, privacy and trust must remain at the forefront.
