OpenAI’s Head of ChatGPT: We’re entering a new era of AI (again) | Tibo Sottiaux
Tibo Sottiaux, who leads ChatGPT and Codex at OpenAI, explains how AI agents are changing software, work, careers, and the internet. He shares OpenAI’s product vision, operating principles, safety approach, and his own experiences using agents.
This conversation explores a shift from manually configured AI workflows toward persistent agents that understand goals, learn preferences, and act across devices. Tibo discusses how OpenAI is bringing Codex, ChatGPT, and Dots together; why communities and open ecosystems matter; and how agents may transform software distribution and internet traffic. He also reflects on human creativity, product judgment, career skills, organizational autonomy, mistakes, safety, and the need to make AI simpler and less intrusive.
