This forum conversation showcased OpenAI’s deep alignment between its internal culture and its global mission: to build AGI that benefits everyone. Joaquin’s career story—spanning safety research, a personal return to hands-on coding as an intern, and his unexpected move into recruiting—served as a powerful narrative about humility, mission-alignment, and human-centered innovation. The conversation emphasized OpenAI’s commitment to democratizing AI access, building infrastructure for economic transformation, and advancing AI that reflects democratic values, not autocratic control.

The Importance of Science Communicator & Policy Research Roles with Miles Brundage, Head of Policy Research at OpenAI and Andrew Mayne, Science Communicator at OpenAI

AI Literacy: The Importance of Science Communicator & Policy Research Roles

About the Talk: The use of AI in art making is as old as AI itself. The ways artists integrated AI in their creative process have been evolving with the advances of AI models and their capabilities. What is the value artists find when using AI as part of their process? What is the role of an artist and what is the role of AI in the process? How is that changing now with generative AI being dominated by text prompting as the way of interface? What have we gained and what have we lost with the progress of generative AI taking its course out of the uncanny valley to utility with the introduction of large language models as part of image generation. In this talk I will present my viewpoint about answering these questions as well as feedback from talking to many artists about this issue and trying to understand the ways they have integrated AI in their process.
