OpenAI chief shocks: wants superintelligent AI in a few years

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced that the company already knows how to create general artificial intelligence and is aiming for the development of superintelligence. According to his prediction, it could become a reality in just a few years. Although current AI systems still have significant shortcomings, Altman believes in their rapid overcoming.

OpenAI chief shocks: wants superintelligent AI in a few years

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, made a surprising statement at the beginning of 2025. According to him, the company already knows how to create general artificial intelligence (AGI) and is now aiming even further – towards superintelligence.

Superintelligence within reach?

Altman estimates that superintelligent AI systems could become a reality in just a few years. These systems, according to him, should accelerate scientific research and innovation.

An interesting perspective is the definition of AGI according to the agreement between OpenAI and Microsoft. According to it, these are systems capable of generating at least 100 billion dollars in profit. When OpenAI reaches this milestone, Microsoft will lose access to its technology.

AI safety remains unresolved

A disconcerting fact is that OpenAI itself admits it has no solution for controlling superintelligent AI. At a time when the company is aiming to create such advanced systems, it has paradoxically dissolved teams focused on AI safety.

Despite all the ambitious plans, today's AI systems still have significant flaws. They hallucinate, make fundamental errors, and their operation is costly. However, Altman believes that these obstacles can be quickly overcome. The history of AI development, however, shows that time estimates are often overly optimistic.

According to Altman, AI agents – autonomous systems capable of independently completing certain tasks – could enter the workforce as early as 2025. This could fundamentally change corporate operations and work productivity. The question remains, however, how society will prepare for this change.

Artificial intelligence can write articles, analyze data, and generate videos. However, there are skills and professions that this technology cannot (yet) replace. In the article, we will look at where humans still have the upper hand, why AI needs human supervision, and which abilities will become increasingly valuable to develop in the digital world.

Does your video keep buffering or game lag, even though you pay for 'fast internet'? Perhaps you simply don't have the right one for what you do at home. What internet speed do you need for watching TV, streaming movies, working from home, or online gaming? Find a clear comparison in the article.

Phishing attacks often appear credible and convincing today. Thanks to artificial intelligence, they sound personal, mimic well-known companies, and can be hard to detect. In this article, you'll learn how modern phishing works, why you should watch out for it, and how you can effectively protect yourself from it.

Forgotten passwords, recycled combinations, and fear of data leaks. Traditional login methods have their weak points. A new way to verify identity, known as passkeys, aims to change that. Without the need to remember anything and with a focus on security. How do they work, who is already using them today, and why are they becoming the new standard?

Do you know edge computing? It is a method of data processing that shifts computing power closer to the data source. This significantly reduces latency and enables faster real-time decision-making. This technology is becoming key for IoT, autonomous vehicles, or smart cities and is gradually changing the internet as we know it. What does edge computing mean and how will it impact our future?

Digital identity is becoming an integral part of modern society. What does it reveal about us? How does it work today, and what might it look like in the future? From blockchain to virtual IDs – let's look at the technologies changing the way we verify ourselves and protect our privacy in the world.
