Reflections on the path toward AGI that benefits all of humanity.
Ten Years of OpenAl
Sam Altman
"We set out to do something crazy, unlikely, and unprecedented."
A culture for enabling discovery
15 nerds
Deeply held conviction
Extremely misunderstood
A Small Group with Unreasonable Optimism
Reinforcement Learning from Human Preferences showed a path to aligning Al with human values.
The unsupervised sentiment neuron learned semantics, not just syntax.
Pushed reinforcement learning to new levels with Dota 1v1 results.
Alignment
Semantics
Scale
2017: The Foundations Emerge
We knew we needed to scale up each of these results with massive computational power.
From Innovation to Scale
"All of a sudden, AGl was no longer a crazy thing to consider."
We launched ChatGPT three years ago.
The World Took Notice
This technology has gotten integrated into the world at a scale and speed that no technology ever has before.
"These last three years have been extremely intense and full of stress and heavy responsibility."
A New Muscle for Execution
"This was quite controversial at the time, but I think it has been one of our best decisions ever and become the industry standard."
We successfully put early versions of the technology into the world, so that people can form intuitions and society and the technology can co-evolve.
Intuitions & Co-evolution
Society
Technology
Mission Line
The Strategy of Iterative Deployment
Ten years in, we have an Al that can do better than most of our smartest people at our most difficult intellectual competitions.
"I have never felt more optimistic about our research and product roadmaps, and overall line of sight towards our mission."
The Next Ten Years
In ten more years, I believe we are almost certain to build superintelligence.
In some sense, daily life and the things we care most about will change very little.
"The people of 2035 will be capable of doing things that I just don't think we can easily imagine right now."
The Future Will Feel Weird
NotebookLM
Our mission is to ensure that AGI benefits all of humanity.
'Without that, we would just be a technology in a lab; our users and customers have taken what is in many cases an early and unrea- sonably high-conviction bet on us, and our work wouldn't have gotten to this level without them."
Technology in the World
We are seeing tremendous benefits in what people are doing with the technology today, and we know there is much more coming. The trajectory is set.
