Sam Altman and Oliver Mulherin welcomed a baby boy on February 23, 2025. At the time, Altman announced the birth on X, mentioning that the baby arrived early and would be in the NICU for a while. The CEO of OpenAI, during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's late night talk show, revealed that he can't imagine raising a child without ChatGPT's help."I cannot imagine having gone through, figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT. Clearly, people did it for a long time - no problem."He then admitted that he feels "kind of bad" asking simple questions to ChatGPT for example, "Why does my kid stop dropping pizza on the floor and laughing?"Atlman gave another example of when he was at a party talking to someone who was also raising a newborn. The parents mentioned to Altman that their child was "crawling everywhere" and he grew concerned since his son has not reached the same growth stage,"I ran to the bathroom, and I was like, do I need to take my kid to the doctor tomorrow morning? Is this okay?Altman mentioned that ChatGPT answered that his son's behavior was "normal.""ChatGPT gets to know you" - says Sam Altman about using AI to parent his sonWhile talking about using ChatGPT to parent his son, Sam Altman mentioned that the AI platform is personalized,"It is personalized, like ChatGPT gets to know you, and by the way, you're the CEO of OpenAI, you probably are around all these high-achieving people, maybe you don't want to project that onto your kid."Sam Altman's recent appearance on Jimmy Fallon's podcast is not the first time that he has admitted to using AI for parenting. In June, 2025, during an episode of OpenAI's official podcast, Altman mentioned that the chatbot has been "super helpful" in navigating the early stages of parenting.Atlman mentioned that he relied on the chatbot "constantly" and continues to use it to ask questions about newborn care and developmental stages,"Now I kinda ask questions about developmental stages more, because I can do the basics."Sam Altman also agreed that his kids will "never be smarter" than AI but will "grow up vastly more capable" than the previous generation. He also predicted that the future generation will see AI as a normal part of their world, and will use it as naturally as the earlier generation used smartphones.
