Simo said that AI has the potential to bring more opportunities to more people in history. She believes that technological changes may concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few, so these technologies must be designed and shared consciously to ensure that everyone benefits. She emphasized that current choices will determine whether future changes empower more people or allow a few to further concentrate wealth.

She pointed out that access to knowledge is the starting point of empowerment. Historically, only those with abundant resources could access high-quality knowledge, but AI is changing this situation. AI can condense learning content into personalized insights and present it in an easy-to-understand way, helping people better understand complex concepts. This technology has been proven to significantly improve learning outcomes.

In the field of healthcare, Simo is especially excited about the application of AI. She shared her experience of fighting chronic diseases, pointing out the fragmented nature of the healthcare system. AI can help patients interpret medical information, obtain second opinions on treatment, and give them more autonomy in managing their health. In addition, AI can help people develop healthy habits through personalized real-time reminders.

Simo also mentioned the potential of AI in creative expression. She believes that AI can help people turn imagination into reality, narrowing the gap between skills and creativity. With AI, more people can achieve self-expression, making the world more colorful.

Economic freedom is also a focus for Simo. She pointed out that AI makes it easier for people to turn ideas into income, lowering the barriers to entrepreneurship. The popularity of AI tools will help more people realize their entrepreneurial dreams and promote the widespread sharing of economic opportunities.

Simo is full of hope for the future. She hopes to build a better future together with her new colleagues at OpenAI.
