OpenAI's mission states: 'To ensure that artificial general intelligence by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work benefits all of humanity,' which underscores the urgency of the matter.
The advancements towards AGI reflect not just technical achievements but also the ethical and societal implications that need to be carefully addressed before we reach that goal.
