OpenAI Board Chair Bans AI, Demands Handwritten Genius for Meeting Prep
KEY POINTS
- •Bret Taylor, OpenAI’s board chair, said on a 2026 podcast that board members should prepare memos without AI.
- •He argued that handwritten, concise documents show strategic thinking and enable substantive discussions.
- •Taylor predicted regulators will soon use AI agents to reduce risks from relying solely on humans.
Bret Taylor, the former Salesforce co-CEO now chairing OpenAI’s board, declared war on AI assistants for meeting prep—insisting board members must handcraft their memos the old-fashioned way. On the 'Uncapped with Jack Altman' podcast in 2026, he dissed ChatGPT like a vintage hipster guarding vinyl, praising concise, AI-free memos as proof of 'strategic thinking' and respect for stakeholders. Not even Jeff Bezos-level 6-page memo dragons get a pass; Taylor demands brevity harder than Shakespeare editing sonnets. Meanwhile, he predicts regulators will soon demand AI agents oversee humanity to stop the human error apocalypse—because trusting humans was last season’s bad idea.

Bret Taylor’s latest boardroom edict: writing memos without AI proves you’re a strategic gourmet, not a fast food thinker.
So, OpenAI’s chairman wants to ‘think deeply’ by banning AI writing, because nothing says future tech like 1990s note cards.
