Hey, TED Talks Daily listeners, I'm Elise Hu.

Today, we have an episode of another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, handpicked by us for you.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is one of TED's most beloved speakers.

And in his podcast, Rethinking, he talks to some of the world's most renowned scientists, entrepreneurs, and creatives about how they think.

In this episode, Adam has an expansive conversation with OpenAI CEO Sam Allman.

Adam and Sam discuss the advances AI has made in creativity, consider the ethical challenges that this technology poses, and debate the role of human oversight in developing these tools.

To hear more deep conversations with Adam, you can find Rethinking wherever you get your podcasts.
