Artificial intelligence could surpass the "expert skill level" in most fields within a decade — and trying to stop the emergence of "superintelligence" is impossible, wrote OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a Monday blog post.
"In terms of both potential upsides and downsides, superintelligence will be more powerful than other technologies humanity has had to contend with in the past," Altman wrote in the post, which was co-authored with two other OpenAI executives, Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever.
Altman's prediction — and his warning — come just days after he warned a Senate committee that artificial intelligence could "go quite wrong." The rapid emergence of AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard has sparked debate and concern about their impact on everything from employment, with some experts suggesting AI could eliminate almost 1 in 5 jobs, to education, with students turning to AI to write papers.
