    OpenAI came to life in 2015 in San Francisco as a joint initiative of Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Wojciech Zaremba, Ilya Sutskever, and John Schulman. The mission was simple but wildly ambitious—develop safe and open AI tools to empower (rather than eradicate) people.

    “OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity.”

    The company has since spawned an impressive lineup of tools including DALL·E, an AI image generator, and CodexAI powering GitHub’s coding suggestion tool CoPilot.

    But all those things were just an appetizer.

    Last year, OpenAI became the hottest brand in the tech space thanks to ChatGPT, a powerful and eerily unnerving AI chatbot based on the company’s flagship GPT-3 language model. And contrary to the naysayers, it proved more than autocomplete on steroids.

    So, let’s wind back the clock and see where it all started.
