OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced that the company is confident in its ability to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) as traditionally understood. Altman stated in a blog post that OpenAI believes the first AI agents may 'join the workforce' in 2025, potentially transforming the output of companies. Furthermore, OpenAI is now shifting its focus beyond AGI to the development of superintelligence, which Altman suggests could significantly accelerate scientific discovery and innovation in 2025, leading to increased abundance and prosperity. This move towards superintelligence marks a strategic pivot for OpenAI, aiming to unlock a 'glorious future' with technologies that surpass human cognitive capabilities.
