Billionaire tech CEO says he’d become a farmer if AI replaced him

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Amid all the fears of artificial intelligence coming for jobs, one billionaire tech CEO apparently isn’t too worried. Sam Altman, the CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, told the MDMEETS – Essential Talks with Mathias Dopfner podcast this week that not only does he look forward to when AI replaces him, but he already has a backup plan.

“I think there will come a time when AI can be a much better CEO for OpenAI than me and I will be nothing but enthusiastic the day that happens,” Altman told the host, Axel Springer CEO Mathias Dopfner.

And what will Altman do when that celebrated day arrives?

He’ll become a farmer, naturally.

“I have a farm that I live on some of the time, and I really love it,” Altman told Dopfner. “And it sounds like a wonderful change of pace.” Altman added that before ChatGPT took off, he had more time on the farm to “driver tractors and pick stuff.”

Altman, 40, reportedly owns a ranch in Napa Valley, a mega mansion in San Francisco’s elite Russian Hill neighborhood, and a $49 million oceanfront mansion on Hawaii’s Big Island.

According to Forbes, he is currently worth $2.3 billion.

Median U.S. farm household income in 2023 was about $98,000, according to the USDA.
