On the 6th, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman mentioned in a recent post that OpenAI is confident in mastering the construction of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and predicts that the first AI agents will officially enter the workforce in 2025. He emphasizes that this is not only an important milestone in technological application but will also have a profound impact on global work patterns and economic models. Altman states that the gradual proliferation of AI tools has already demonstrated its social value, and the addition of AI agents may become a key driver for promoting scientific breakthroughs, corporate transformation, and productivity enhancement. Triple increase in user numbers Looking back on the two-year journey since the launch of ChatGPT, Altman mentioned that the active user base of the product has increased from the initial 100 million to over 300 million, demonstrating a high demand in the market for AI tools. He believes that this rapid growth process is full of challenges but also illustrates the value of AI technology: Increased market acceptance: ChatGPT's success as an open AI tool exemplifies the high alignment between technological application and daily needs. Technological advancement: From model security to user experience optimization, technological progress gradually enhances the practicality and trustworthiness of AI. Altman emphasizes that OpenAI will continue to focus on improving its products to truly benefit more users. Governance crisis As for the 'sudden dismissal' incident at the end of 2023, Altman views it as a governance mistake but also a lesson in leadership responsibility. He admits that at that time, OpenAI faced the risk of disintegration, but thanks to the strong support of key partners such as Ron Conway and Brian Chesky, the team was able to quickly stabilize. This crisis prompted OpenAI to deepen its internal governance mechanisms, ensuring that future major decisions are more transparent and stable, laying the foundation for the company's long-term development.
