Recently, there has been a lot of discussion surrounding whether OpenAI has achieved artificial general intelligence (AGI). OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made a clear response to this. He publicly denied that OpenAI has achieved AGI and called on everyone to lower their expectations by "100 times." This not only clarifies some misunderstandings from the outside world, but also provides a new perspective on the current development status of artificial intelligence technology. This article will interpret Ultraman’s response in detail, and analyze the challenges and future prospects that OpenAI currently faces in AGI research and development.
Recently, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman clearly denied the claim that "OpenAI has achieved general artificial intelligence (AGI)" on social platform X. He said that despite the intensifying discussion about AGI, OpenAI will not deploy AGI next month and has not developed this technology. Ultraman reminds everyone that they should lower their expectations "100 times."
AGI, or general artificial intelligence, refers to an artificial intelligence that can understand, learn and perform any human intelligence task. Recently, some AI fans have mistakenly interpreted some content published by OpenAI employees as evidence that AGI has been implemented, leading to numerous misunderstandings. Although OpenAI is indeed working hard to launch a series of new AI inference models and released some related updates last month, the realization of AGI is still far away.
For some time, Altman and the OpenAI team have been actively promoting new inference models. Altman said in a podcast that he believes OpenAI has mastered the key technologies to build AGI, and predicted that this year may see AI agents enter the workforce for the first time. He also mentioned that within the next few thousand days, humans may see the emergence of super intelligence.
Recently, however, some commentators, notably AI-focused author Gwern Branwen, have once again fueled rumors that OpenAI may implement AGI in-house. He said in posts on social media that OpenAI is on the verge of a breakthrough, and even speculated that it may have crossed a critical tipping point. In this regard, Noam Brown, a top researcher at OpenAI, also spoke out, pointing out that there is a lot of vague AI hype on social media. Although he is optimistic about further progress, there are still many unsolved research problems that need to be overcome.
Although OpenAI continues to make progress in AI technology, it still has a long way to go before truly realizing AGI. Regarding the expectations of fans, Ultraman's appeal is particularly important.
Altman’s statement provides sober reflections on current developments in the field of artificial intelligence. Although the realization of AGI is still full of challenges, OpenAI's continued efforts and the industry's exploration of artificial intelligence technology will continue to push the field of artificial intelligence forward and ultimately realize mankind's higher expectations for artificial intelligence.
