These are two of the most important people shaping the future of artificial intelligence: Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT and Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, OpenAI's biggest investor.
They spoke to The Economist's editor-in-chief about what the future of AI really looks like.
