OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the AI startup has figured out how to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) and is now targeting superintelligent systems that could transform scientific discovery.
In a blog post, Altman predicted AI agents could begin integrating into workplaces by 2025. He outlined plans to develop AI systems surpassing human-level intelligence across all domains. “We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it,” wrote Altman.
The statement represents a significant shift as major AI companies rarely provide concrete timelines for AGI development.
