According to Cointelegraph, OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman published a blog post on September 23, celebrating the "success of deep learning" and saying that humanity is on the verge of an unimaginable era of prosperity.

Altman said the company's technology will create more powerful versions within decades, accelerating scientific progress.

Altman based his opinion on the company’s latest “o1” AI model, which can solve problems that were difficult for previous models to solve.

Despite critics who argue that deep learning cannot scale to human-level AI, Altman insists that “deep learning succeeds and gets better as it scales.”

He believes that humanity is on the brink of an “intelligent age” in which AI systems will gradually solve major problems on Earth, such as climate change and space colonization.

Altman predicts that these changes will occur gradually over the next few decades and will bring about tremendous prosperity.
