ChatGPT maker OpenAI ousts CEO Sam Altman

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Sam Altman, the head of artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, has been ousted by the company's board, which said it had lost confidence in his ability to lead the company. We look at what this means for the company going forward and who will be replacing him? It was announced that Amazon will lay off hundreds of employees in its Alexa division. We look at why Amazon is moving its resources towards AI and away from its Alexa smart speaker. And Canada's capital city Ottawa was once branded 'the city that fun forgot.' But plans are in place to change that. We hear how the city is hoping to hire a 'nightlife tzar'. Our presenter Roger Hearing will be discussing these topics alongside guests Andy Uhler and Salve Duplito.
