On the No Priors podcast, OpenAI President and co-founder Greg Brockman discusses:
- Math & science: OpenAI's AI agents have solved nearly 400 century-old math problems, with potential to accelerate biology and drug discovery beyond data bottlenecks.
- Agents: Proactive, always-on agents like Dots reshape productivity; he argues the best UI is no UI at all, and work/consumer agents will converge.
- Cybersecurity: A critical window exists to use peak intelligence to find and fix vulnerabilities; security investment is shifting.
- Ethos: OpenAI stays committed to keeping humans in the driver's seat even as models surpass human capability.
