OpenAI CEO Sam Altman comments on cyber risk: What you need to know

DEMAND STORY REMAINS INTACT AND THAT THEY STILL HAVE SOME ROOM FOR PRICING TO INCREASE, BECAUSE THE SHORTAGE IS VERY MUCH GOING TO STAY THE SAME FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. SARAH. >> MEANTIME, SEEMA, YOU'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE ORACLE STORY AT AI WORLD YESTERDAY WHERE ALTMAN MADE THOSE COMMENTS ABOUT CYBER VULNERABILITIES. WHAT STRUCK YOU ABOUT THAT? >> YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. NOW, SAM ALTMAN MADE MAKING A SURPRISE APPEARANCE APPEARANCE DURING ORACLE'S AI WORLD KEYNOTE AND SAT DOWN TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS FROM ORACLE CEO CLAY MAGOUYRK.

I WOULDN'T SAY THERE'S ONE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OUT THERE THAT CROWDSTRIKE IS WORKING IN TANDEM WITH OPENAI, BUT WE
