I didn't find a single reference other than this as to what he is going to do post resigning.

>I will also explore new ways to support all of you in the global AI community, so that we can all work together to bring this AI-powered society to fruition.

It is true that AI is the new electricity which will change practically everything in our lives and it is good to see that alliances like OpenAI are forming to democratize the knowledge, this is because giant companies hold a monopoly, they are the only ones who have the sufficient data to do any meaningful research at all.

Very true! I hope he joins OpenAI and helps achieve their mission [1]. It would be a huge boost to their efforts.

It's similar sentiment that Jeremy Howard presented. It sounds that they both see AI such a big societal change that working on a single startup / company isn't enough for them.

OpenAI isn't open source.
