AI Billionaires: From Waiters to Titans Shaping the Future

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the world, and a new group of super-rich people are leading the way.

These billionaires are the CEOs of companies that use AI to do things like make computer chips, process data, and create dating apps.

One of the richest, Jensen Huang, used to be a waiter!

Others like Alexandr Wang provide important data, and Sam Altman is known for developing ChatGPT.

There's also people like Phil Shawe, who uses AI to translate things, and Dario Amodei, who wants to make AI safe.

Some, like Liang Wenfeng, have created cheaper versions of existing AI, and Yao Runhao created a popular virtual dating game.
