Sam Altman says his kid will grow up in a world where AI is always smarter than them

In a recent podcast, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman opened up about parenting in the AI era. He said something interesting–“My kid will never be smarter than AI” but that’s not a bad thing in his eyes.

He sees it as a world where kids grow up vastly more capable, because they’ll know how to use AI really well. He even mentioned how ChatGPT helped him with newborn parenting questions everything from feeding to crying and said he couldn’t have managed without it.

But he also acknowledged the risks. He’s not comfortable with the idea of kids seeing AI as a “best friend” and wants better safeguards around how children interact with it.

What do you all think about this? Would you raise your kid around AI the same way? Or set firm boundaries?
