Today (6th), Sam Altman, CEO of the renowned artificial intelligence company OpenAI, mentioned in a recent post that OpenAI is confident it has mastered the methods to construct AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and predicts that we will see the first AI agents officially enter the workforce in 2025. He emphasized that this is not only an important milestone in technology application but will also have a profound impact on global work patterns and economic models. Altman stated that the gradual promotion of AI tools has already proven their social value, and the addition of AI agents could become a key driver for scientific breakthroughs, corporate transformation, and productivity enhancement. User numbers have tripled. Looking back at the journey since the launch of ChatGPT two years ago, Altman noted that the number of active users has increased from an initial 100 million to over 300 million, demonstrating the high demand for AI tools in the market. He believes that this rapid growth process is full of challenges but also illustrates the value of AI technology: Increased market acceptance: ChatGPT has become a successful example of open AI tools, showcasing the high alignment between technology applications and daily needs. Technological advancement: From improving model security to optimizing user experience, technological progress has gradually enhanced the practicality and trust of AI. Altman emphasized that OpenAI will continue to focus on improving products so that the widespread adoption of technology can truly benefit more users. Governance crisis Regarding the 'sudden layoffs' incident at the end of 2023, Altman believes this was a governance mistake but has also allowed him to better understand the responsibilities of a leader. He admitted that at that time, OpenAI faced the risk of disintegration, but thanks to the strong support of important partners like Ron Conway and Brian Chesky, the team was able to quickly regain stability. This crisis prompted OpenAI to deepen its internal governance mechanisms to ensure that future major decisions can be more transparent and stable, laying the foundation for the company's long-term development.
