Sam Altman - Humanity nears superintelligence
According to Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI), the AI revolution has begun, and humanity “is close to building a digital superintelligence”. Here are key points from his latest blog post “The Gentle Singularity”.
The details
- According to the OpenAI CEO, the latest AI systems are smarter than people and can significantly enhance their performance. People adapt to exponential progress as skills that were once amazing quickly become routine.
- Sam Altman believes that AI will contribute to the world in many ways. It will lead to better quality of life, higher productivity, and scientific progress. The future can be much better than the present.
- He outlines a schedule. In 2025, AI agents have entered the market that can write code and do real cognitive work. In 2026, systems will provide new insights. In 2027, robots will enter the market that can do tasks.
- Altman predicts that by 2030, both intelligence and energy will be abundant. Furthermore, the costs for AI will eventually approach the costs of electricity.
Our thoughts
Intelligence will soon be as cheap as electricity. That means that everyone suddenly has access to intelligence. In our view, this will significantly accelerate scientific progress.
In addition, a person in 2030 will probably be able to complete a task in a few days instead of months. Our message: Don’t ignore AI, use it. If you don’t, others will.
