This is a statement that could come as a bombshell, as it is both worrying and exciting for those who are closely interested in artificial intelligence.
Indeed, according to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, artificial intelligence has already reached a "point of technological singularity", the moment when AI surpasses human intelligence.
A "super" artificial intelligence for the future?
In an article by Sam Altman published on June 10, he stated that "takeoff has begun", mentioning in particular the exceptional performance of ChatGPT in its latest version.
And if some could redoubled his concern upon reading this announcement, the CEO of OpenAI wants to be much more reassuring. According to him, we should soon be able to access a "super" artificial intelligence, with very strong ambitions on his part...
Unprecedented knowledge starting next year thanks to AI
If artificial intelligence is currently based on knowledge that it can find on web pages or documents provided to it, the next developments to come could call everything into question in the years to come.
According to him, artificial intelligence could develop unprecedented knowledge as early as 2026, opening up new perspectives in fields such as health or even space research.
Towards robots "made in OpenAI" in 2027?
Although Sam Altman does not state it clearly in his speech, reading between the lines, we can guess that the CEO of OpenAI does not seem to want to stop at digital products, such as ChatGPT.
Indeed, he states that in two years, in 2027, robots equipped with artificial intelligence should even be able to perform tasks instead of humans. And while he clearly writes that robots are not "yet" in the streets, it could well be only a matter of time before fiction becomes reality...
Intelligence and energy, a new challenge for artificial intelligence?
While Sam Altman's ambitions have the merit of being very ambitious, and also echo Bill Gates' recent observation, the CEO of OpenAI readily admits that artificial intelligence should also be able to address energy challenges in the years to come.
But while waiting for energy to become more abundant, as Sam Altman seems to hope in his publication, artificial intelligence is already facing these challenges, with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini currently requiring numerous energy resources.
