OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed confidence in the company's ability to develop Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as traditionally understood. In a blog post, Altman stated that OpenAI is now focusing on achieving AGI, with plans to shift its attention to superintelligence thereafter. He predicts that by 2025, AI agents could join the workforce and significantly alter company outputs. Altman emphasized the potential of superintelligent tools to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation, thereby increasing global abundance and prosperity. Despite the ambitious outlook, Altman acknowledges the current perception of these goals as science fiction but remains optimistic about their realization in the coming years.
