Odaily Planet Daily News OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever recently delivered a speech at the Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2024 conference held in Vancouver, Canada, where he stated that the era of pre-training in artificial intelligence is coming to an end and predicted the rise of AI superintelligence. Sutskever mentioned that the speed at which computing power is improved through better hardware, software, and machine learning algorithms exceeds the total amount of data available for training AI models, likening data to fossil fuels that will eventually be depleted. He stated, "Data is not increasing because we only have one internet. You could even say that data is the fossil fuel of artificial intelligence. It was created in some way, and now we use it; we have reached peak data, and there will be no more — we have to work with the data we have." Sutskever predicts that agent AI, synthetic data, and inference time computation are the next directions for the development of artificial intelligence, which will ultimately give rise to superintelligence.
