OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicts Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will usher in an era of unprecedented economic growth, potentially curing diseases and maximizing creative potential.
Altman bases his prediction on three observations:
AI intelligence scales with resources,
AI costs decrease rapidly (10x every 12 months),
The socioeconomic value of increasing intelligence is super-exponential.
He envisions a future where AI assistants amplify individual impact, requiring resilience and adaptability. Altman acknowledges the need for continued investment in AI development to realize this vision.
