Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, discusses the company's accurate technical predictions regarding AI development on his brother's podcast. While he believes significant advancements have been made, such as AI models demonstrating reasoning comparable to that of a Ph.D., Altman expresses surprise at the slow societal response to these developments. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging AI technology for societal good, advocating for broader consideration of how to enhance collective benefits through AI applications.
I feel like we've been very right on the technical predictions, and then I somehow thought society would feel more different if we actually delivered on them than it does so far.
The models can now do the kind of reasoning in a particular domain you'd expect a Ph.D. in that field to be able to do.
It's crazy that we're not that impressed with AIs that can do problems I’d expect an expert Ph.D. in my field to do.
Going forward, more people should be thinking about how to apply AI to benefit society as a whole.
