Altman further discussed the potential for AGI, stating that it could be achieved sooner than expected but would not bring about immediate safety concerns. He described AGI as a milestone towards superintelligence, with the world continuing mostly as usual post-AGI, albeit with a faster economy and growth. However, he noted that the transition from AGI to superintelligence would be a longer process.
Key takeaways:
- Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, spoke at The New York Times DealBook Summit about the future of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
- Altman believes that the arrival of AGI will have less impact on the average person than is currently anticipated.
- He also mentioned that there has been some tension due to the high amount of processing power and access required by OpenAI.
- Altman suggests that AGI is a milestone on the path to superintelligence, and that the world will continue mostly unchanged after its creation, but with a faster economy and growth.
