They announced the launch of the New Company on Linkedin 10 months ago. On this post he said: \u00abRarely do you encounter a new technology so powerful that it feels inevitable that it will change the course of every industry. I remember feeling that way when I first used a web browser in high school, and then again when I first saw Steve Jobs demonstrate the iPhone in 2007. I have that same sense of excitement and inevitability about modern AI, especially given recent advances in large language models.\u00bb<br><br>Following the information posted on his profile on Linkedin Taylor has left Salesforce, where he was Co-CEO in January this year. He still holds a seat on the Board of Shopify. Shopify is a tech solutions provider that offers an e-commerce platform that lets anyone start, grow, and manage an online shop from \u20ac1 per month.<br><br>Larry Summers means the incorporation of a far different profile to Open AI&#8217;s Board. He brings with him the contacts, influence experience and wide vision acquired during his tenure as 71st Secretary of the Treasury of the united States of America under POTUS Bill Clinton; as Director of the National Economic Council of the United States, dependent on the White House, during the presidency of Barack Obama from January 2009 to December 2010 and as Chief Economist of the World Bank from 1991 to 1993.<br>Summers as Charles W. Eliot was a professor at Harvard University within the Kennedy School of Government. In 1993 he received the John Bates Clark Medal for his work in the field of economics. He has been President of Harvard from 2001 to 2006 too.<br><br>Not a tech expert at all, but with a clear vision on the changes in the future of Mankind to be driven by new technologies such as AI. And Summers shared his vision at Viva Tech Paris last June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Larry_Summers_1600x833-pix.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Larry_Summers_1600x833-pix-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"Larry_Summers_1600x833 pix\" class=\"wp-image-25006\" width=\"1182\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Larry_Summers_1600x833-pix-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Larry_Summers_1600x833-pix-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Larry_Summers_1600x833-pix-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Larry_Summers_1600x833-pix-1536x800.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Larry_Summers_1600x833-pix.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1182px) 100vw, 1182px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Lawrence Summers at Chatham House.
