On September 26, as reported by Politico, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman remarked in an interview that 'superintelligence' might become a reality by the end of this decade. When questioned about the timeline for the emergence of superintelligence—a form of intelligence that would completely outstrip human capabilities—Altman noted that the rate of advancement in AI capabilities would be exceptionally rapid. He suggested that within just a few years, AI could potentially make scientific breakthroughs that are beyond the reach of human researchers alone, a development that could be considered a hallmark of superintelligence. While acknowledging the difficulty of pinpointing the exact moment when superintelligence will emerge, Altman expressed that he would be quite astonished if, by the end of this decade (that is, before 2030), an incredibly powerful AI model capable of performing tasks beyond human capacity had not yet materialized.
