Wishing everyone a happy Year of the Dragon! I practiced writing the Chinese character for fortune—I still have some work to do. #lunarnewyear
Happy birthday, Leila! You’ve had quite the first year—and I can’t wait to see what you learn, discover, and enjoy in year two.
Sam Altman is the person I call when I have questions about the future of AI. So we decided to record one of those conversations and share it with you for the latest episode of Unconfuse Me.

“That’s wild” pretty much sums it up.
The last thing I have to finish before 2024.
Happy Birthday, @nayelnassar! It has been so fun spending time with you and watching you become an incredible devoted dad to Leila.
Eating great food is a highlight of any trip to Rome. This time, I got to try some of the incredible (and tasty) innovations from @onecgiar that are helping in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. Rome, Italy
On my last visit to London, I got to talk to some really smart people about climate solutions.
I can picture how AI will change how we work in functional ways—like summarizing a hundred-page brief— but I often wonder how it might eventually influence our sense of purpose. I enjoyed hearing Sam Altman’s perspective.
The holidays are all about making memories (even if you forget to smile for the picture).
There is no cure or treatment for Guinea worm disease, and yet, the world is on the doorstep of eradicating it. How? Health heroes like Makoy Samuel Yibi, a network of incredibly dedicated health workers, and partners like @thecartercenter.
We believe global health deserves to be on the agenda at @worldeconomicforum. So naturally, we did a little show and tell. Here are a few of the many health innovations that can help us save lives.
When I start to feel overwhelmed by the climate challenges we face, I turn to Hannah Ritchie.
If Hannah Ritchie could choose any moment in history to be born, she would still choose today. In her book and on my podcast, she tells an uplifting, data-driven story about how innovation and human resilience can solve the tough challenges we face.
Why Bill Gates is optimistic about climate change
Some of my favorite books of the year are on their way to my family and friends.
Most of my time working on AI is spent thinking about how it can help the world’s poorest. In the fall, I traveled to Senegal to meet with some of the incredible researchers tackling the @gatesfoundation’s first-ever AI Grand Challenge. I was blown away by their creativity.
Focusing more on data and trendlines than breaking news and headlines can put big problems into perspective—and show us we’re capable of solving them.
If you want to work like Sam Altman, try putting on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
