The CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, one of the most influential figures of artificial intelligence, welcomed his first child.
Altman, who played a central role in the development of Chatgpt, went to X on Sunday to announce the “early” arrival of his little boy. “Welcome to the world, little guy! He came early and will be on the factory for a while. He is fine and it’s really nice to be in a small bubble taking care of him. I never felt such love, “he tweeted.
While the details on the baby’s name and date of birth remain deprived, the chief of technology expressed his enthusiasm at the idea of entering parenthood. Altman and her husband Oliver Mulherin adopted parenting earlier than expected. According to a Bloomberg report, the couple expected the arrival of their first child in March 2025.
The announcement sparked widespread reactions on social media with messages by congratulating Altman and Mulherin, a software developer.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was among the first to wish the couple. “My sincere congratulations, Sam! Parenthood is one of the deepest and most rewarding experiences in life. I wish you and your best family,” he shared.
Given his intense professional commitments, many are curious to know how he will balance paternity with one of the most peak companies in the world.
Altman and Mulherin have maintained a private personal life despite their influence in the technology industry. Their marriage, which took place between 2023 and at the beginning of 2024, became knowledge of the public in January 2024 after images of their intimate rings exchange ceremony to a coastal location became viral on social networks. Altman later confirmed the news to NBC News.
The couple had previously expressed their desire to start a family, as Altman mentioned in an interview in September 2023 with New York magazine. Although they rarely make public appearances, they were spotted together during the American state dinner in 2023, held in honor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
