- As CEO of Openai, Sam Altman is frequently asked for his predictions on how AI will change our world.
- He has reflections on where we are heading for AGE, superintendent, agentic AI, etc.
- Here are some of his predictions on the future of AI.
Sam Altman’s latest blog article is full of predictions on how the world will change during the next decade.
Over the years, the CEO of Openai has shared predictions on the place where he thinks that we are heading on artificial general intelligence, superintendent, agentic AI, and even more – and when we could get there .
There are common themes.
It is generally optimistic about these technologies: he thinks that AGI – that the Chatpt Openai manufacturer defines as “AI systems which are generally more intelligent than humans” – will improve productivity by taking care of subordinate tasks to release people for more abstract work and decision -making.
He also thinks that this will create “shared information,” he said in an interview of May 2024 at the Harvard Business School, and that it will inaugurate a “massive prosperity”, he planned in an article blog in 2024.
One day, everyone will have “a personal team of AI, full of virtual experts in different fields, working together to create almost everything we can imagine,” Altman wrote in his 2024 blog.
“AI models will soon serve as autonomous personal assistants who will perform specific tasks on our behalf, such as coordination of medical care in your name. At one point, further, AI systems will be so good that ‘They help us make better generation systems and make scientific progress at all levels, “he added.
Regarding deadlines, Altman wrote in a blog article in January 2025 that he thinks this year “we can see the first agents of the AI” join the workforce “and modify the production of the production of companies “.
He said that in December at the top of the New York Times offer, he thinks we’re going to realize “earlier than most people in the world and that will matter much less”.
“We are now convinced that we know how to build act because we have traditionally understood it,” he added in his January post.
Beyond AGE, society also turns its attention to superintelligence, which it defines as “future AI systems spectacular more capable than even acted”.
“The superintendent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation far beyond what we are capable of doing by ourselves, and in turn considerably increase abundance and prosperity,” he Written in his blog post earlier this year.
Altman spoke of the financing of the AI in a blog article in February 2025.
He said that the cost of using an AI given decreases approximately 10 times a year and that there is “no reason for the exponential investment to increase the investment to stop in a near future “because, as he says” -Exponential. “
“If we do not build enough infrastructure, AI will be a very limited resource that wars take place and it mainly becomes a tool for the rich,” he wrote last year. He cited the need to reduce the cost of calculation, as well as the massive demand for enough chips and energy to supply AI.
While Altman thinks that the AI will lower the price of many products in the future, he thinks that “the price of luxury products and some intrinsically limited resources like the land could increase even more spectacular”, a- he wrote in February.
Then there are the potential repercussions for people’s jobs.
“Most jobs will change more slowly than most people think it, and I have no fear that we will miss things to do (even if they do not look like” real jobs “for us today ) “, he wrote in his 2024 blog article.
At the same time, he recognized in 2023 that many people will lose their job in the process.
“Many people working on AI claim that it will only be good, it will only be an additional supplement, no one will never be replaced,” he said. “The jobs will certainly disappear, stop full.”
Although he believes that “the tendency more towards individual empowerment” with AGA is important, he noted in his February blog article that “the other probable path that we can see is the AI used by governments authoritarian to control their population by mass monitoring and loss of autonomy.
And his darkest declaration on AI: that the worst case is “lights for all of us,” he said in an interview in 2023.
To this end, Altman spoke of the need for railings to ensure the responsible development of AI.
“I think it is like impossible to overestimate the importance of the work of security and alignment of AI. I would like to see a lot, much more,” he said during the 2023 interview .
“The world will not change right away; it never does,” he wrote in his February blog article. “But the future will happen to us in an impossible way to ignore, and the long -term changes of our society and our economy will be enormous. We will find new things to do, new ways of being useful to each other , And new ways to compete, but they may not look much like today’s jobs.
