This week, host Charlotte Alter is joined by TIME Executive Editor Naina Bajekal and Tech Correspondent Billy Perrigo to hear how OpenAI revolutionized technology this year, and why Sam Altman was chosen as TIME's 2023 CEO of the Year. Later, Altman joins Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs on stage at TIME's Person of the Year event on December 12th in New York City. The pair cover everything from the the turmoil at OpenAI, to next year's election, to, of course, Taylor Swift.

We're going on a short holiday hiatus, but we'll be back in January with brand-new episodes about what shapes the people who shape the world.
