  Inside OpenAI: Coaching the People Creating AGI | Joe Hudson, Founder of The
  Art of Accomplishment
description: >-
  Joe Hudson is a coach who works with the executives building AGI at OpenAI.
  From inside OpenAI, he witnesses the full spectrum of human emotion that comes
  with bringing something new into the world—the exhilaration, the terror, the
  weight of it all. He feels these emotions, too: He believes AI will eventually
  replace what he does as a coach. But instead of fixating on that fear, Hudson
  is asking a deeper question: Who is he becoming in the meantime? He believes
  that moments like this—when we can feel the ground quiver—can be powerful
  catalysts for transformation, but only if we’re willing to face the
  uncertainty they bring. In this episode of AI & I, Dan Shipper sits down with
  Hudson to talk about how he’s answering that question. They get into what
  happens when the thing you’ve built your life around might disappear, how to
  find who you are beneath your professional identity, and why Hudson believes
  intention is the key to growing with AI. If you found this episode
