Ghost in the Machine: OpenAI CEO Sees ChatGPT on Track From AI to AGI - Jose Antonio Lanz, Decrypt

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman delved into the transformative potential of AI, hinting at a future where data takes a backseat to reasoning. Sam Altman, the visionary CEO of OpenAI, shared his take on the trajectory of artificial intelligence, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "The future might see AI models requiring less training data, focusing more on their reasoning capabilities," Altman said. This statement doesn't just suggest a technical shift, but presages a new era where AI's thought processes could mirror human logic and intuition. An AI able to reach such capabilities—the adaptability and common sense of a person—is broadly known as Artificial General Intelligence. Sam Altman defines it as “a system that can generalize across many domains that would be equivalent to human work.”
