Sam Altman: OpenAI is shifting its focus towards 'superintelligence'

Odaily Planet Daily News OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a blog post that he believes OpenAI "knows how to build (general artificial intelligence)" because it has historically understood this and is beginning to shift its focus towards superintelligence. Altman wrote: 'We love our current products, but we come for a brilliant future. Super intelligent tools can greatly accelerate scientific discovery and innovation, far beyond what we can do ourselves, thus greatly increasing wealth and prosperity.' AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, is a vague term. However, OpenAI has its own definition: "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at the most economically valuable work." OpenAI and its close partners and investors, Microsoft, also have a definition for AGI: an artificial intelligence system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits. According to the agreement between the two companies, when OpenAI achieves this goal, Microsoft will lose the right to use its technology. Altman did not specify which definition he might be referring to, but he seems more likely to be referring to the former. In the article, Altman suggests that artificial intelligence agents (AI models capable of autonomously performing certain tasks) may "join the workforce" and "fundamentally change the output of companies". This is possible, but today's artificial intelligence technology also has significant technical limitations, such as hallucinations and errors. Altman seems to believe that this can be overcome, and at a fairly fast pace, but the timeline is unpredictable.
