Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, reflects on the swift evolution of AI since the debut of ChatGPT two years ago. He notes the surprising extent of ChatGPT's influence and the resulting "arms race" in AI development, driven by advancements in computing power, algorithms, and data. Altman is optimistic about ongoing exponential growth toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) and superintelligence. However, he also raises important issues regarding safety, competition—especially with Elon Musk's xAI—and the necessity for new economic models to ensure fair compensation for content creators whose work contributes to AI training. He highlights the significance of iterative deployment and the co-evolution of AI and society, ultimately suggesting that while AI has transformative potential, it is less likely to disrupt core human values than the deeply personal journey of fatherhood.
