Sam Altman: The first batch of AI agents may join the workforce by 2025

Golden Finance reported that on January 6th, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a recent blog post that the company is confident that it has discovered the approach to building AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). He predicts that by 2025, we may see the first batch of AI agents ‘joining the workforce’ and substantially changing enterprise output. Altman reviewed the two-year journey of ChatGPT, pointing out that the product has grown from an initial 100 million weekly active users to over 300 million. He emphasized that OpenAI is now shifting its focus to the development of superintelligent AI, believing that this will significantly accelerate scientific discoveries and innovations, leading to greater social prosperity. Regarding the ‘lightning layoff’ incident in November last year, Altman called it a ‘major governance failure,’ but also said that this experience made him a more thoughtful leader. He especially thanked Ron Conway and Brian Chesky for their help during the crisis, saying that without their support, OpenAI might have already fallen apart.
