OpenAI CEO: in the next ten years, AGI will exceed the professional level of human beings in the early 1990s.

CTOnews.com, June 10 (Xinhua) at today's 2023 Zhiyuan artificial Intelligence Conference, OpenAI co-founder and CEO, Sam Altman (Sam Altman) delivered a speech via video connection, which is also the first time that Altman has delivered a speech to a Chinese audience.

He said that the world's attention is mainly focused on solving today's artificial intelligence problems, many of which are very urgent. Artificial intelligence is growing rapidly and now needs to be applied responsibly to the world.

He believes that in the next decade, AGI will exceed the professional level of human beings in the early 1990s, and may eventually exceed the overall productivity of the largest human mass company, and the potential benefits are huge. He also stressed that promoting AGI security is one of the most important areas for the industry to find common ground.

Tuyuan Pexels for GPT-4 from pre-training to deployment, Altman said that the OpenAI team spent eight months studying how to anticipate risks and come up with countermeasures. The team is on the right path, and GPT-4 is more aligned than all current code. But for more advanced systems, alignment is still an unsolved problem, which requires new technical methods and strengthened governance supervision. after all, the future AGI may be a system of 100, 000 lines of binary code, and it is difficult for human supervisors to judge whether a model of this scale is doing something harmful.

As to whether OpenAI will open up GPT source code, Altman said: at present, OpenAI has opened up some models, and over time, more models can be expected to be open source. In the future, as the model gets bigger and bigger, ensuring correctness will become expensive, and open source may not be the best path.
