Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, whose company just released Gemini 3 to widespread acclaim, has made it clear where he stands on the issue. "The scaling of the current systems, we must push that to the maximum, because at the minimum, it will be a key component of the final AGI system," he said at the Axios' AI+ Summit in San Francisco last week. "It could be the entirety of the AGI system."
Katti replied with a post in which he declared himself "Excited for the opportunity to work with" Brockman, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and others at the company "on building out the compute infrastructure for AGI!" He also said he's very grateful for the tremendous opportunity and experience at Intel over the last 4 years leading networking, edge computing and AI,
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
You will lead a new area of research, exploring post-AGI economics, the future of scarcity, and the distribution of power and resources in a world fundamentally reshaped by advanced AI,
AI fever might have an iron grip on Fortune 500 CEOs, Wall Street traders, and government officials, but there are still some out their immune to the tech industry's charms. For evidence, look no further than activist and organizer Guido Reichstadter, who's currently running on day three of a hunger strike on the front steps of the headquarters of the AI giant Anthropic.
As artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, gains traction in the business world after years of promise, a new generation of AI is starting to emerge - at least in the hype cycle. It's not agentic AI, it's not robotic AI, or physical AI. It is artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Two years ago, fear of AGI run amok prompted 1,000 tech leaders and AI researchers to sign an open letter calling for a pause on new AI model rollouts.
A few months before the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in July, a three-person team at OpenAI made a long bet that they could use the competition's brutally tough problems to train an artificial intelligence model to think on its own for hours so that it was capable of writing math proofs. Their goal wasn't simply to create an AI that could do complex math but one that could evaluate ambiguity and nuanceskills AIs will need if they are to someday take on many challenging real-world tasks.
OpenAI's new GPT-5 model represents a significant step toward artificial general intelligence, yet it lacks crucial elements like autonomous continuous learning, limiting its full potential.
My belief is it is 100% crap. The best at any job will remain. The best software developer, the one that really knows architecture, knows technology, and so on will stay—for a while.
