To one New essay on his personal blogOpenai CEO Sam Altman said the company is open to a “budget calculation”, including “strange audio” ideas, to “allow everyone on Earth to use a lot of AI” and to ensure that the benefits of technology are widely distributed.
“The historical impact of technological progress implies that most of the measurements we are interested in (health results, economic prosperity, etc.) improve in average and in the long run, but increasing equality does not seem to be technologically determined and can be technologically determined and can be technologically determined. It gets this right require new ideas, “Altman wrote. “In particular, it seems that the balance of power between capital and labor could easily get confused, and this may require timely intervention.”
Solutions to this problem, such as the concept of Altman’s “Compute Budget”, can be easier to suggest by execution. Already, AI affects the labor marketresulting in job cuts and reduction. Warned experts This massive unemployment is a possible result of AI’s rise, unless it is accompanied by the right government policies and re -upgrades and programs.
Not for the first time, Altman claims that artificial general intelligence (AGI) – which he defines as “[an AI] The system that can face more and more complex problems, at human level, in many areas ” – is near. Whatever the form, this agi will not be perfect, Altman warns, in the sense that” requires a lot of human supervision and direction “
“[AGI systems] He won’t have the biggest new ideas, “Altman wrote,” and it will be great on a few things, but amazingly bad to others. “
But the real value from AGI will come from the operation of these systems on a huge scale, Altman said. Similar to Openai’s chief executive, Dario Amodei, Altman foresees thousands or even millions of AI super-satisfactory systems facing “in every area of knowledge”.
One may assume that it will be an expensive vision to realize. Indeed, Altman noted that “you can spend arbitrary sums of money and receive continuous and predictable profits” in AI’s performance. This is perhaps the reason why Openai is expected to talk to raise up to $ 40 billion in a round of funding and is committed to spending up to $ 500 billion with partners on a huge network of data.
However, Altman assumes that the cost of using “a given AI” falls about 10 times every 12 months. In other words, the push of the AI technology limit will not reach cheaper, but users will gain access to increasing systems along the way.
The capable, cheap AI models from the Chinese starting AI Deepseek and others seem to support this concept. There is evidence suggesting that training and growth costs are diminished, but both Altman and Amodei have supported it mass investment It will be required to achieve AI-and then.
As for how Openai plans to release Agi-level systems (assuming it can actually create them), Altman said the company would probably make “some important decisions and restrictions related to AGI security that will be non-popular ”. Open Once he is committed That will be committed to stopping to compete and start helping any project “aligned with value”, “conscious” that comes close to building agi before doing so, except for security concerns.
Of course, this was when Openai intended to remain a non -profit organization. The company is in the process of converting its corporate structure to that of a more traditional, profit. Open referenced It aims to reach $ 100 billion revenue by 2029, equal to the current annual Target and Nestle sales.
This is the case, Altman added that Openai’s goal, as it creates a stronger AI, will be “more voltage to individual empowerment” while attributing “ai used by authoritarian governments to control their population through mass Surveillance and loss of autonomy ”. Altman recently said that he believes that Openai is on the wrong side of the story when it comes to an open supply of its technologies. While OpenAi has open -minded technology in the past, the company generally favored a privately owned closed source development approach.
“AI will leak in all areas of economy and society. We will expect everything to be smart,” Altman said. “Many of us expect to give people more control over technology than we have historically, including open supply more, and to accept that there is a balance between security and individual strengthening that will require compromises.”
Altman’s blog post comes in front of this week’s AI Action Summit in Paris, which has already urged other technology officials to describe their own visions about the future of AI.
In a footnote, Altman added that Openai does not, in fact, plan to end his relationship with the close associate and the Microsoft investor anytime using the term AGI. Microsoft and Openai had a conventional definition of AGI – AI systems that can generate $ 100 billion profits – which would once meet OpenAI to negotiate more favorable investment terms. Altman, however[s] to work with Microsoft for long -term. ”
