Summary
In a conversation with MIT Technology Review, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman outlined a future where AI evolves beyond its current capabilities to act as highly competent, personal agents involved in various aspects of our lives without the need for new hardware or vast amounts of additional training data. Altman described these AI systems as super-competent colleagues that can manage both simple and complex tasks independently, transforming our interaction with technology. He emphasized that despite the potential for new AI-specialized devices, the envisioned applications could operate effectively in the cloud, suggesting that existing devices might suffice. Altman also touched on the future of artificial general intelligence (AGI), predicting the development of multiple versions of AGI, each with different strengths.
