Sam Altman

The world's best-known face in AI also happens to be gay. Altman came out in high school, where he spoke out after fellow students objected to a National Coming Out Day speaker. Although Altman keeps a low profile, it was revealed earlier this year that he married longtime partner, Oliver Mulherin in a beachside ceremony. Before he founded OpenAI with X CEO, Elon Musk, Altman was well-known in Silicon Valley as the president of Y-Combinator, a start-up accelerator.
