In 2023, the funding for generative AI went hyperbolic, with OpenAI's $10 billion investment round potentially distorting financial graphs. As the industry looks ahead, The Atlantic teases the five biggest questions about AI to be answered in 2024. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and dubbed a Silicon Valley wunderkind, has been named the San Francisco Business Times' Executive of the Year. Reactions to Altman's leadership and OpenAI's product, ChatGPT, are polarized, with some critical portrayals in the media, including an 'unusually fawning profile' by the Washington Post that has been likened to creating a demigod image of Altman, and others recognizing his strategic deal-making prowess. Amidst this, Altman himself has expressed skepticism about achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in 2024 and has reached out to the public for suggestions on what OpenAI should build or fix in the upcoming year. Furthermore, discussions on how to make AI more human are ongoing, as highlighted by Gizmodo's piece 'How to Make Artificial Intelligence More Human in 2024'.
