OpenAI CEO Sam.Altman（Sam Altman) has been interested in general-purpose artificial intelligence (AGI) is enthusiastic and says the company is actively pursuing this ambitious goal. In a recent Reddit AMA, Altman claimed that AGI is possible using existing hardware, and while he didn't specify exactly what would be needed, he has previously said that realizing his AI vision would require $7 trillion and years to build 36 semiconductor factories and more data centers.
Altman had previously stated in a blog post that superintelligence was "only a few thousand days away". But now it seems he may have a clearer idea of the timeline for achieving AGI, shortening it to five years.
In a recent interview, Altman predicted that theIn the next 5 years, AI technology will advance at an incredible rate. He believes that the AGI moment may come so quietly that people may not even realize it!. Nevertheless.He predicts that the short-term impact of AI and AGI on society "will be surprisingly small."He used the example of a computer passing the Turing Test. Using the example of a computer passing the Turing test, he pointed out that if people had been asked five years ago if a computer would pass the Turing test, they would have said no. While computers eventually passed the test, society did not change significantly.
In the long run, however, Altman recognizes that the AI revolution could bring about fundamental societal changes beyond all expectations as science advances rapidly.
