Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, predicts that the arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI) will be more disruptive than people expect, potentially starting as soon as 2025.

Highlights from Article

Asked about critics who say OpenAI is not focused enough on safety, Altman responded, “I’d point to our track record.”

  • AI has never destroyed the world yet…it won’t now?

AI itself, the reasoning engine, will become commoditized, Altman opined.

At first, the introduction of AGI — or “superintelligence” as some define it — will have minimal effect, Altman said. But eventually it will “be more intense than people think,” Altman said, adding that with every major technological achievement, there’s been significant job displacement.

  • AGI will start with a whimper before it becomes a bang
