About the Event

Josh Achiam, OpenAI’s Chief Futurist, will join the OpenAI Forum for a conversation about how we prepare the world for rapid AI-driven change. Drawing on his background as an AI researcher at OpenAI, Josh will share how rigorous research, hands-on experimentation, and clear communication can inform better public understanding and policy. The discussion will explore how these approaches come together to help policymakers and the broader public navigate what’s ahead—and what it means to engage with AI thoughtfully as its impact continues to grow.

1 on 1 Networking

To participate in 1:1 networking from the 'Match' tab on the left, or via the agenda. When you are ready to participate, you will navigate to the 'Match' tab and select the 'Join Match' button. Note that you must be logged in on a laptop or computer browser to engage over video in 'Match'. We also suggest you use Google Chrome or Safari browsers for the best experience.

Once you have configured your camera and microphone, you will be put in a queue until another attendee has joined. The system pairs you at random for a quick chat, and will not pair you with someone you have already met with during this event. Each party must approve the match, but if you decline a match with a suggested member, they will not be informed.

Each call is set at 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes you can choose to extend the call or head back into the waiting space for a new match. You can also end the call at any time if you'd like to meet other attendees over video.

Any chat messages from your matches can be found in your 'Messages' tab both within the event and from the community homepage. You can also see who you've connected with in your 'Match histories' at any time.

If you experience any issues jump back into the 'Live' tab and drop your note in the chat, or reach our team from the 'Help' tab on the left.
