Q&A with Sam Altman on his life, kids, rivalries, pronatalism, "prepping" for the apocalypse, new products, IPO plans, Luca Guadagnino's Artificial, and more (Vanity Fair)

Sam Altman’s interview signals that OpenAI is still in aggressive product and commercialization mode, with potential IPO ambitions and continued focus on expanding ChatGPT’s capabilities. For CIOs and technology leaders, the strategic takeaway is that AI adoption will keep moving fast, but so will scrutiny around safety, reliability, and governance—making vendor risk management, model oversight, and enterprise controls increasingly important. IT organizations should expect more frequent platform changes and new use cases, while balancing innovation with tighter security, compliance, and incident response readiness.
