About me
Andrew Mayne is a technologist, inventor, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and one of the earliest pioneers in the modern AI era. He served as OpenAI’s Science Communicator and was one of the company’s first prompt engineers, helping shape GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4 from the inside.
Mayne now hosts The OpenAI Podcast, a deep-dive conversational series with the people building and shaping artificial intelligence today, exploring both how these systems work and what they mean for the future of society.
Before AI, his career spanned illusion design, invention, television, and fiction writing — a blend of creativity and curiosity that now informs his exploration of emerging technologies. At FreedomFest, Mayne offers a forward-looking perspective on where AI and human ingenuity intersect, and what it takes to thrive in an age of accelerating change.
