it home reported on september 24 that openai ceo sam altman published a blog post on his personal blog yesterday (september 23), predicting that the "intelligence age" is coming and artificial intelligence will bring huge economic benefits in the "next few decades."

looking to the future of ai

altman wrote in a blog post that humans are entering a new era driven by artificial intelligence. he predicted that ai systems will soon become personal assistants, provide customized education, and even help with health care. eventually, ai systems may even make scientific discoveries independently.

in his blog post, altman believes that "superintelligent ai" may take a longer development cycle, but estimates that it will appear in the next "few thousand days".

deep learning is the key

altman highlighted deep learning as the key to this progress:

deep learning works, and it gets better and better at scale, so we’re investing more and more resources in it.

the following scenario is about to become a reality: humans discover an algorithm that can truly, truly learn any data distribution (or, in other words, the basic "rules" that produce any data distribution).

the more compute and data available, the more it can help people solve tough problems with astonishing precision.

future ai relies on large-scale computing

but he said that to realize the full potential of artificial intelligence, computing power must be massively expanded. otherwise, artificial intelligence may become scarce and cause conflict. openai is working with microsoft on a large data center project.

impact of ai on employment

it home quoted altman's view that the current situation shows that ai will seriously disrupt the job market. but he believes that overall, the social benefits will outweigh the negative impacts. in the long run, he believes that artificial intelligence may help solve major challenges such as climate change, space exploration and physics.

altman writes:

humans have an innate desire to create and leverage each other, and ai will allow us to amplify our abilities like never before.
