Among AI industry insiders, opinion about AI progress tends to bifurcate. In one camp are folks such as Sam Altman. The OpenAI CEO wrote a blog post on his personal website over the weekend reflecting on OpenAI’s trajectory, especially over the past two years. In the post, Altman stated that artificial general intelligence—which OpenAI defines as a single AI software system that can perform as well or better than people at most economically-useful cognitive tasks—was essentially a solved problem. “We are now confident that we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it,” he wrote. And Altman predicted that in 2025 “we may see the first AI agents ‘join the workforce’ and materially change the output of companies.”
