OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, believes we’re on the cusp of something groundbreaking.
(And the timeline is sooner than most think.)
Altman claims OpenAI is shifting its focus to “superintelligence,” tools he says could massively accelerate innovation and create new abundance.
But here’s the kicker: OpenAI admits it doesn’t yet know how to fully control or align these systems safely.
Now imagine this:
AI agents joining the workforce, transforming industries overnight. Scientific discoveries happening faster than ever before. Economically valuable tasks being redefined.
But also…
AI with capabilities that exceed human understanding—something we may not be able to supervise reliably.
As Altman puts it: “The need to act with great care, while still maximizing broad benefit and empowerment, is so important.”
It’s thrilling. It’s daunting. It’s a moment in history where opportunity and responsibility collide.
Where do you see the future of AI heading? Are we ready for superintelligence?
