OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Cools Down Expectations on Artificial General Intelligence
In a recent tweet, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman urged people to “chill and cut their expectations 100x!” regarding the company’s latest AI model, o3. This statement comes as a surprise, given Altman’s earlier bold predictions about the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Earlier Predictions
In a recent blog post, Altman claimed that OpenAI knew how to build AGI and predicted that people would be working hand in hand with AI agents this year. He even suggested that superintelligence could emerge “in a few thousand days.”
Recent Tweet
However, in a tweet, Altman posted, “Twitter hype is out of control again. We are not gonna deploy AGI next month, nor have we built it. We have some very cool stuff for you but pls chill and cut your expectations 100x!”
Expert Opinions
Humayun Sheikh, CEO of Fetch.ai and Chairman of the ASI Alliance, believes that AGI has not yet reached a level of true sentience and will not for quite some time. “When considering what Altman said about AGI-level AI agents, it’s important to focus on how the definition of AGI has been evolving,” he said.
A Pattern of Hype and Reality Checks
This is not the first time Altman has had to walk back his own hype. After hyping up GPT-4o’s capabilities, he later dismissed his own claims and called ChatGPT “mildly embarrassing at best.”
Conclusion
In conclusion, Sam Altman’s recent tweet serves as a reality check for those who have been hyped up about the development of artificial general intelligence. While OpenAI has made significant progress, it’s essential to temper expectations and focus on the actual capabilities of their latest AI models.
FAQs
- What is artificial general intelligence (AGI)? AGI refers to an AI system that has the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks, much like a human.
- What is the current state of AGI development? According to Sam Altman, OpenAI has not yet built AGI, and it’s unlikely to be deployed in the near future.
- What is the significance of OpenAI’s o3 model? The o3 model is a weaker version of the full o3 reasoning model and is expected to be released in a few weeks.
- Why should we be cautious about AGI hype? It’s essential to temper expectations and focus on the actual capabilities of AI models, rather than getting carried away by exaggerated claims.
