Sam Altman Predicts AGI already in 2025

AGI

November 11th, 2024

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has projected in this new interview with Y Combinator that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) might be achieved as soon as 2025. While previous estimates often placed AGI closer to the 2030s, Altman has hinted at accelerating progress in AI research that could potentially make AGI a reality within just a few years. At a recent Stanford University event, Altman discussed both the significant societal changes and technical challenges that such a rapid emergence of AGI could bring, from major industry disruptions to increased need for regulatory oversight. He also underscored the importance of careful, iterative deployment to balance innovation with safety and ethical considerations.

This ambitious timeline reflects the rapid pace of advancements, especially with the anticipated release of more advanced models like GPT-5, which may bring AI even closer to human-level capabilities. However, Altman and other industry leaders acknowledge that AGI's exact impacts remain uncertain and are actively engaging in discussions on how to responsibly manage such transformative technology.
