According to ChainCatcher, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a recent blog post that the company is now confident it has mastered the methods for building AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). He predicts that by 2025, we may see the first AI agents 'join the workforce' and substantially change business output.
Altman reviewed the two-year journey of ChatGPT, pointing out that the product has grown from an initial 100 million weekly active users to over 300 million. He emphasized that OpenAI is shifting its focus towards the development of superintelligence, believing that this will significantly accelerate scientific discovery and innovation, leading to greater societal prosperity.
Regarding the 'lightning layoffs' incident last November, Altman described it as a 'major governance failure,' but also stated that the experience has made him a more thoughtful leader. He especially thanked Ron Conway and Brian Chesky for their help during the crisis, stating that without their support, OpenAI could have fallen apart.
