We are excited to acquire TBPN, a team known for editorial talent, audience insight, and strong culture.
TPPN is a place for real conversations about AI and its creators. Many of you already use the show to stay updated.
Traditional communication doesn’t suit OpenAI. Leading tech change means fostering open conversations about AI’s impact, especially for builders and users.
TBPN has already built this kind of space rather than trying to replicate it. It made sense to bring them in, support their work, and help them grow while keeping what makes them special. Going forward, TBPN will serve as the central hub for our dialogue with the AI community, fostering open conversation and sharing perspectives about the future of technology. Editorial independence is important. TBPN will continue to run its own programming, choose its guests, and make its own editorial decisions. This is essential to their credibility, and we are committed to protecting it in this agreement.
We look forward to leveraging TVPN’s communication and marketing expertise to demonstrate how AI is changing daily life in new ways.
TBPN will join our strategy group and report to Chris Lehane. Welcome, Jordi, John, Dylan, and team.
A statement from TBPN:
- Over the past year, we’ve had a front-row seat not just to open air but to the entire ecosystem, covering daily news announcements and launches in real time. While we’ve been critical of the industry at times, after getting to know Sam and the OpenAI team, what stood out most was their responsiveness to feedback and their dedication to getting this right. Moving from commentary to real impact on how this technology is distributed and understood globally is incredibly important to us – Jordi Hays, co-founder and co-host of TBPN.
