DUBAI EYE 103.8
About this episode

21 Nov 2023. The Sam Altman saga continues! Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI who many considered to be the leader of the burgeoning artificial-intelligence revolution, was fired by the company's board on Friday, then almost rehired over the weekend, then ultimately poached by Microsoft to run a new AI effort following a second leadership shakeup at the company. But is he really gone for good? We'll discuss the latest. Dubai Taxi Company will offer up to 24.99 per cent stake in an initial public offering, after being set up as a public joint-stock company as part of Dubai's push to broaden its capital markets. We'll speak to the company's CEO - Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi. Plus, we'll cross live to Kenya to speak to Fati N'Zi-Hassane, Director of Oxfam in Africa about how the richest 1% of humanity is responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%. Finally, we'll hear from the man bringing baseball diplomacy to the UAE - Kash Shaikh.
