OpenAI executives Sam Altman and Mira Murati believe that artificial intelligence (AI) will achieve human-level capabilities, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), within the next decade. They expressed optimism about AGI's potential to revolutionize various industries by providing humanity with powerful tools. However, they also emphasized the need for cautious development, addressing potential risks, sharing safety measures, and ensuring regulatory and societal adaptation to this technology.

Altman discussed the evolving role of data in AI, stating that as AI models become smarter, they will require less data for training, potentially alleviating concerns of data usage by publishers. Murati mentioned OpenAI's ongoing efforts to develop technology capable of detecting AI-generated images and text, with promising progress in image detection.

Regarding AI's impact on the workforce, Murati noted the potential for increased inequality and disruption, while Altman expressed confidence in the ability to create new and improved job opportunities. Additionally, OpenAI's growing value, with reports of a potential $86 billion valuation, reflects the strong investment interest in the AI field, partly fueled by the popularity of generative AI models like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
