During an OpenAI company-wide gathering, Altman put forward three potential routes for the progression of artificial intelligence. Beyond his favored strategy of setting up an internationally coordinated safety verification body, inspired by the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency, he also outlined two bolder alternatives. One alternative envisions the consolidation of leading AI research entities, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, into a singular, overarching institution. This institution would orchestrate research and development efforts and disseminate new models to affiliated nations, effectively putting an end to the cutthroat R&D rivalry. The other alternative suggests a scenario where a single company pioneers AI recursive self-improvement, utilizing its significant financial clout to restrict other developers' access to computational resources, rendering their GPUs obsolete, and thus securing a monopoly. Both proposed routes would lead to the aggregation of the globe's most formidable AI R&D prowess within a solitary entity. At present, the relevant frontrunner companies are still engaged in a fierce battle for high valuations, and OpenAI aims to decide on a development route within the next year to clarify the ownership and control of superintelligence.
