"OpenAI wants to be an everything company, or close to it. Under CEO Sam Altman's leadership, OpenAI is increasingly going far beyond its roots as an AI research lab. Altman envisions a future where AI transforms daily life and may one day even replace him as CEO. In the meantime, he's making big bets on where to take the company."
""The time for the robot is coming soon," Altman said during a chat with Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan in June. "I think I am very excited about a world where when you sign up for like the highest tier of the ChatGPT subscription, we send you a free humanoid robot, too.""
"Healthcare remains a core focus of OpenAI's future aspirations. In August, Business Insider reported that OpenAI tapped Nate Gross to lead its health strategy. Gross was the cofounder and former chief strategy officer at Doximity. Tech companies are increasingly entering the healthcare space. Amazon made one of the biggest splashes in 2022 with the acquisition of OneMedical, a primary care startup, for $3.9 billion."
OpenAI is moving beyond foundational AI research into multiple industries with a particular focus on robotics and healthcare. The company is exploring humanoid robots, filing trademarks that suggest hardware plans, and has made early robotics investments while some partnerships have ended. OpenAI envisions integrating robots into consumer offerings and could compete with other firms developing humanoid machines. Healthcare is a strategic priority with hires to lead health initiatives and an affiliated foundation aiming to use AI toward curing diseases, amid broader tech-industry moves into healthcare.
