### Introductions []

hello everyone I'm Sam alt anuncio dope in the eye hey everyone I'm Greg Brockman the co-founder and CTO of open AI before this I ran Y Combinator and while I was there I really came to understand the importance of mentorship and small amounts of funding and how much that can transform not only people's lives but the things that they create in the world that we all live in

### Greg Brockman [0:22]

when we started opening AI I was a newcomer to the field at first it just felt actually except inaccessible to me but what I found to my surprise was with mentorship for my co-workers and space to study it was actually possible to make contributions within only a few months so openly AI scholars is a five-month full-time program where he provides stipends and mentorship to individuals from underrepresented groups to study deep learning and to create open source projects I helped start this program because I believe that diversity is core to AI having a positive effect on the world it's necessary in order to achieve the open and mission of ensuring that a GI benefits everyone and to achieve that mission I think diversity is core and it's critical to having this positive effect for everyone in the world I think without that broad set of input and perspectives and backgrounds it is unlikely that the advanced AI systems of the future will be built to benefit everyone the scholars are going

### OpenAI Scholars [1:19]

to hear from are all strong software engineers they come from a variety of fields from neuroscience to physics to software engineering the scholars are from the top 2% of applicants it's really amazing to see I you know how hard they've all worked throughout 2020 I threw out this these very eventful times when people applied to this program and even when the program started I think we had no idea how different the world was going to become I think it's really amazing how hard our scholars have worked how much they've been able to accomplish with this background so even during a cold endemic and long overdue conversations and protests about justice and in the u. s. even in this incredibly volatile time in the world I think all of us at opening eye are especially impressed by the work that they did and the week that they took to start this journey and to explore in this new field I also want to say thank

### Mentors [2:19]

you to the mentors that they are really what enabled this program that mentorship really giving people the benefit of your experience in helping them go through their own struggles that's something that I think makes this mix makes it possible for people to come in and get productive so quickly this program would not work without the efforts of these mentors they just it would not be possible there's a kind of learning and this is one of them that happens not from reading not from hearing in classes but from someone taking the time to dedicate to mentor you and this one-on-one learning is much more like a flight instructor sitting next to you than a teacher in the classroom and so we wouldn't be able to do it without the energy and the brainpower and the time of our mentors and we really appreciate that I think everyone at open AI has found it really rewarding to watch the scholars learn and grow and we're all excited to see what they're going to accomplish next Congrats all the scholars thank you all for being here thanks again to our mentors really awesome congratulations to the scholars thank you for presenting today and I'm going to turn it back over to Francis
