Certainly Sam Altman, who in March 2023 took the danger of opposing Elon Musk and protecting his “creation” Open.ai, steering it in a direction more comfortable for him and allying with Microsoft.
Another person I like was the founding father of Midjourney, David Holtz, considered one of the leading AI imaging software, as he spoke in the course of the September 16, 2022 interview titled “Midjourney Founder David Holz on the Impact of AI Art , Imagination and …” said Creative Industries” edited by Rob Salkowitz on Forbes
(…) My stuff isn’t made for skilled artists. If they enjoy using it, then that's great. (…) – David Holz
(…) It is significant to emphasise that this isn’t about art. This is concerning the image. Sometimes imagination is used for art, but often not.
Most of the photographs created on Midjourney usually are not used professionally. These usually are not events which might be shared. They are only used for these other purifications, for these very human needs (…) – David Holz.
Finally, Geoffrey Hinton, the daddy of AI, who left Google after ten years at the tip of April 2023 to have freedom of expression about AI.
I also admire his successor, Danny Lange, when it was announced that he was leaving his position at Unity after 6.5 years and joining Google as Vice President of Business Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence (BI+AI).
Instead, I didn't like Elon Musk when he founded X.ai and hired a military of skilled men into his team without leaving room for a lady (at the very least in the beginning there have been no names of skilled women on the team).
