His 2005 book “The Singularity is close,” Futurist Ray Kurzvil predicted that the moment the machine intelligence overtakes us – will be around 2045. Sam Altman believes it is very close.
One in blog post Published on Tuesday, the CEO of Openai dedicated to a homili that he sees as an adjacent arrival of the artificial “superintendent”. While artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is usually defined as a computer system capable of matching humans on any cognitive work, a superintendent AI will move greatly, to bring his own intelligence to such a huge degree that we will be helpless to fathom, such as we are trying to understand the normal relativity.
(Disclosure: ZDNET’s original company Ziff Davis filed a case of April 2025 against Openai, alleging that it violates Ziff Davis copyright training and operating its AI system.)
In severe, the blog post frames the unavoidable arrival as this alleged Superintendent AI, which will gradually be sufficient to prepare itself for the society. Comparatively, he looks back in the last five years, in a relatively short time, in which most people have gone from not knowing anything about AI, to use powerful equipment such as chatgate on a daily basis, at the point where generative AI has almost become worldly.

“Humanity is close to making digital superintendents, and at least it is very strange as it seems that it should be,” Altman wrote.
His writing has several times entered the semi-religious field, which depicts the arrival of Superintendent AI in the context of reminiscent of the early Christian Prophet describing the second arrival. While his language scientist is closed in scientific, secular language, it is difficult to detect only the indication of prosecuting: “The possibility of the 2030s is likely to separate from any time, which has come before,” they write. “We don’t know that we can go beyond human level intelligence, but we are going to find out this.”
AGI – and in detail, Artificial Superintending – has been a divisive subject in the technical world. Like Altman, many believe that its arrival is nothing, but when. Meta is allegedly preparing to start an internal research laboratory, which is dedicated to the supervision. Others suspect that it is technically possible to manufacture a machine that is more advanced than the human brain.
After its release of Chatgpt at the end of 2022, Openai entered the global fame. The company, since then, has been shipping new AI products at a breakcation speed, inspired to depart a stable move of employees, cited that the safety was being disorganized in the name of speed, citing concerns. Many people have joined anthropic, an AI company that was actually founded by former OpenAII employees, or has moved forward to launch its own undertakings. For example, Ilya Sutaskewar – a Kofounder of OpenAI and its former chief scientist founded a company, which was named Secured superintending (ssi) Last June.
Normally, AI developers have also been widely criticized for their crowd to automate human labor without offering any concrete policy proposals, which millions of jobs in the future should do with themselves. ALTMAN’s new blog post has become common among technical leaders on this front: yes, some job disadvantages, but eventually technology will create jobs completely new categories to change those that have become automated; And in addition, AI is going to generate so much money for humanity on a large scale that people will have the freedom to pursue more meaningful things than work. (Just just those things are never explained.) Ultman has also supported the idea of implementing a universal basic income to support the public because the world adjusts its vision of a technical-utopia.

He wrote in the blog post, “The rate of technological progress will remain accelerated, and it will remain a matter that people are able to do almost anything.” “There will be very difficult parts like the entire classes of jobs, but on the other hand the world must be getting rich so soon that we will be able to entertain new policy ideas seriously that we could never before.”
Openai has developed quickly and dramatically as it was established a decade ago. It began as a non-profit, which aims to refer to-Opse-Sounds in AI Research. Since it has become a behemoth that enhances a profit competing with the choice of Google and Meta. Company mission statement For a long time “it has been to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.”
Now, looking from Altman’s blog post, Openai is aiming for another very high target: “Before getting anything else, we are a superintending research company.”
