Altman wrote that superintelligence might sound like science fiction. “We’re pretty confident that in the next few years, everyone will see what we see, and that the need to act with great care, while still maximising broad benefit and empowerment, is so important. Given the possibilities of our work, OpenAI cannot be a normal company.”
Previously, OpenAI had also said data-ga-onclick=”Inarticle articleshow link click#Tech#href” href=”https://openai.com/index/governance-of-superintelligence/” data-type=”tilCustomLink” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>strong public oversight is needed when it comes to governing superintelligence, data-ga-onclick=”Inarticle articleshow link click#Tech#href” href=”https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_-3083394054475465463_inbox/_blank” rel=”nofollow”>, asserting that the global community should have a democratic role in determining the bounds and defaults for ref=”dofollow” data-ga-onclick=”Inarticle articleshow link click#Tech#href” href=”https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/ai-systems” target=”_blank”>AI systems. The company proposed an international authority to ensure safety, regulate advanced AI and manage risks, while avoiding over-regulation of less advanced systems.
Altman also looked back on the journey of ChatGPT, which was initially dubbed “Chat With GPT-3.5.” Launched over two years ago on November 30, 2022, ChatGPT sparked a “growth curve like nothing we have ever seen,” he added.

He reaffirmed the same in the blog, saying “we may see the first AI agents “join the workforce” and materially change the output of companies.”
He also addressed various other topics, including the issue of being data-ga-onclick=”Inarticle articleshow link click#Tech#href” href=”https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/the-openai-board-which-fired-sam-altman/articleshow/105306757.cms” data-type=”tilCustomLink” target=”_blank”>removed from OpenAI’s board data-ga-onclick=”Inarticle articleshow link click#Tech#href” href=”https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_-3083394054475465463_inbox/_blank” rel=”nofollow”/> after they “lost confidence in his leadership abilities.” He described the event as a “big failure of governance by well-meaning people,” acknowledging his own role in the situation.
