OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has predicted that superintelligence is closer than many think and, in his view, will usher in a new era for mankind. Running the company responsible for ChatGPT Altman has a clearer idea of AI capabilities than most. That means not only should his warnings about the dangers of AI be acknowledged but also his predictions for where AI could take society. He took to his blog on Monday (Sep, 23) to outline why he believes the world is on the cusp of a new “Intelligence Age” which will bring with it as many new inventions and transformative innovations as the move from the Stone Age to the Agricultural Age the Industrial Age did. “We can have shared prosperity to a degree that seems unimaginable today,” the tech CEO wrote.
