OpenAI CEO Sam Altman talks AGI, AI workers, and AI superintelligence
OpenAI celebrated ChatGPT's second anniversary in a big way a few weeks ago. The company held a massive "12 Days" press event, with each day bringing a new AI feature to various products. ChatGPT was a big focus and received various interesting upgrades in December, including a next-gen reasoning model (o3) that should see a wider release in the near future.
However, OpenAI did not announce an upgrade for the main model most people use. That's GPT-4o, which supports Advanced Voice Mode and multimodality. The model was launched in May, so it shouldn't feel like we need something newer and more powerful.
However, the AI industry is moving at break-neck speeds compared to the rest of the tech landscape, and we've come to expect innovations to drop at a faster rate. Google is doing the same thing; everyone is.
It's clear that OpenAI doesn't have GPT-5 ready for a teaser announcement. Reports say the firm is struggling with training the AI and is running behind a self-imposed schedule.
Rather than detailing any of that, Sam Altman is doing what you'd probably expect from the CEO of a for-profit company. He's teasing the near (or more distant) future of AI by talking about AGI (artificial general intelligence) and the next step after that, AI superintelligence.
