Sam Altman’s New Brain Venture, Merge Labs, Will Spin Out of a Nonprofit

Sam Altman, the former president of Y Combinator, is launching a new venture focused on brain-computer interfaces called Merge Labs.

The venture will spin out of the nonprofit research organization OpenAI, where Altman currently serves as CEO.

Merge Labs aims to develop cutting-edge technology that will enable humans to interact with computers using only their thoughts.

Altman believes that brain-computer interfaces have the potential to revolutionize industries such as healthcare, entertainment, and communication.

The new venture has already attracted significant interest from investors, with several prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firms backing the project.

Altman is no stranger to the world of technology startups, having previously co-founded the mobile payments company Loopt and serving as the CEO of the artificial intelligence company OpenAI.

He is known for his forward-thinking approach to technology and has been a vocal advocate for ethical and responsible AI development.

Merge Labs is set to launch its first product within the next year, with plans to eventually expand into other areas of brain-computer interface technology.

Altman is excited about the potential of Merge Labs to push the boundaries of what is possible with brain-computer interfaces and to change the way we interact with technology in the future.
