Sam Altman’s Bold AI Predictions: Shocking Insights Into AI’s Future

CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, says that AI superintelligence will be commonplace in a few thousand days. He sees a future where everyone is rich but warns that money alone won’t make people happy.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has said some shocking things about the future of artificial intelligence (AI). He wrote on his website that “we may have superintelligence in a few thousand days.” He titled the 1,100-word essay “The Intelligence Age.”

“It may take longer, but I’m sure we’ll get there,” the CEO said. We could have shared prosperity to an unimaginable extent now that we have these new skills.

People can have better lives in the future than they do now. Plenty of unhappy rich people, so prosperity alone wouldn’t make everyone happy. But it would make a big difference in everyone, Altman said. The famous tech person has used the word “superintelligence” in interviews, such as one with the Financial Times a year ago.

This word is often used interchangeably with artificial general intelligence (AGI), which means that machines can think, learn, and use information just as well as people. Sam Altman’s startling predictions about AI’s future follow the recent release of several well-known critiques of the technology.
