OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, on the other hand, anticipates the emergence of super intelligence within a few thousand days. He expects AI systems to handle complex tasks similar to those given to humans by next year. Despite a shaky relationship with Microsoft, OpenAI continues to focus on research and product development. Altman also expressed concerns about the potential disruption caused by artificial general intelligence (AGI), but believes the real worry should be when the industry moves into super intelligence.
Key takeaways:
- Google CEO Sundar Pichai predicts that AI development will slow down in 2025 as the company prepares to release its next generation of models.
- American startups receive 71 cents of every dollar of global AI equity funding, with over 40% of the world’s AI companies based in the U.S., creating an innovation gap with other countries.
- Sam Altman, CEO at OpenAI, believes it is possible to have super intelligence a few thousand days from now and expects to see AI systems handling complicated tasks like a smart human by next year.
- Altman also expressed concerns about the potential disruption caused by artificial general intelligence (AGI), but believes the real safety concerns will arise when the industry moves into super intelligence.
