Sam Altman Claims 'Superintelligence' Will Surpass AGI in Significance
December 5, 2024 - 20:13
In a recent statement, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, expressed his belief that the emergence of superintelligence will be far more impactful than artificial general intelligence (AGI). Altman suggested that we are only "a few thousand days" away from achieving this advanced form of intelligence, which he predicts will revolutionize various aspects of society.
Superintelligence, according to Altman, represents a level of cognitive capability that exceeds human intelligence in virtually every domain. He emphasized that while AGI is a significant milestone, it is the subsequent leap to superintelligence that will truly reshape industries, economies, and even the fabric of daily life.
The implications of this technology are vast, raising questions about ethics, control, and the future of human labor. As discussions around the potential risks and benefits of superintelligence continue, Altman’s remarks highlight the urgency for proactive measures in governance and regulation to ensure that this powerful technology is developed responsibly.
