"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that an era when entire companies are run by AI models is nearly upon us. And if he has it his way, it'll be OpenAI leading the charge, even if it means losing his job. "Shame on me if OpenAI isn't the first big company run by an AI CEO," Altman said on an episode of the "Conversations with Tyler" podcast recorded last month"
"It's another classic big boast from Altman, who rarely shies away from sweeping pronouncements about the AI industry and how it will shape the world - both good and bad. He has frequently teased that OpenAI is on the verge of achieving artificial general intelligence, or AGI, a hypothetical AI system that surpasses human intelligence in virtually all aspects. He has written an entire manifesto detailing how AI will usher in a utopic future of "massive prosperity" for all."
"His doomsaying is equally prolific: Altman also warns that AI will destroy entire categories of jobs, could cause a " fraud crisis," implode the economy, or even end the world, if we're not careful. By Altman's standards, predicting AI-run companies are right around the corner is pretty tame. One thing he sounds most certain about is AI far surpassing the performance of human CEOs, himself included. This "clearly will happen someday," Altman said."
An era when entire companies are run by AI models is described as nearly upon us. OpenAI aims to lead that transition even if it risks the CEO's job. Large divisions could be 85 percent or more run by AI within a small number of years. AI may enable billion-dollar companies operated by a few people plus AIs sooner than some timelines predict. Pursuit of artificial general intelligence is linked to promises of massive prosperity alongside warnings of job destruction, fraud crises, economic collapse, and existential risk. AI is expected to eventually surpass human CEOs.
