Activities
"I've been very interested in things like universal basic income and what’s going to happen to global wealth redistribution and how we can do that better. Is there a way we can use technology to do that at global scale?"[1]
His company Worldcoin has as goal to become the world’s largest human identity and financial network. For this purpose, it is interested to collect biometric data, inviting people to let him scan their retina prints.[2] In Argentina in 2024, his company Worldcoin is utilizing country's financial crisis to buy people's biometric data. People in financial distress surrender the biometrics contained in the irises of their eyes, in return for $50 of Worldcoin’s cryptocurrency, WLD.[3]
Funding
Altman has received funding from Y Combinator and Sequoia Capital in the past.[4] He became a partner at Y Combinator in 2011, initially working there on a part-time basis. [5] In February 2014, Altman was named president of Y Combinator by its co-founder, Paul Graham.[6]
OpenAI was initially funded by Altman, Greg Brockman, Elon Musk, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Infosys and YC Research.[7]
OpenAi
In a strange few days, Altman was removed by operatives in his own company following the cooperation and majority acquisition of OpenAI.
“Both publicly and internally, leaders at Microsoft are cheering OpenAI's apparent return to normalcy following days of chaos.
The ChatGPT creator, in which Microsoft has reportedly invested some $13 billion, has been on a roller-coaster ride that began Friday when its board abruptly fired Sam Altman as CEO and ended with his return and the appointment of a new board early Wednesday.
Following Altman's ouster, Microsoft swooped in to hire him along with OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman — who quit OpenAI in protest over Altman's termination — to lead a new advanced AI research team at Microsoft, and also offered to hire any other OpenAI employees who wanted to leave. Sam Altman is returning to OpenAI as CEO after his ousting last week, and three board members that participated in his termination have been removed. At that point, Microsoft, already majority owner in OpenAI, was positioned to essentially "acquire" OpenAI by absorbing its talent, after nearly all the startup's 770 or so workers signed a letter saying they would take Microsoft up on the offer unless Altman was reinstated.
However, a deal was ultimately reached for Altman to return to OpenAI rather than allowing the $90 billion company to collapse, in what Fortune tech reporter David Meyer wrote is an outcome that "is pretty ideal for Microsoft."”

Personal life
He is gay and Jewish. His sister Annie Altman [9] has accused him of sexual abuse starting when she was four years old, which turned into: "emotional, verbal, financial, and technological abuse" later in life; also in an effort to keep her from telling the story to a wider public.[10][11]
