According to him, superintelligence can revolutionize science and the economy, accelerating discoveries and increasing global prosperity.

Sam Altman has previously said that the emergence of superintelligence can be expected “sooner than anyone thinks” and emphasized the importance of a cautious approach to the development of such systems.

However, OpenAI recognizes that managing them remains an open challenge.

We are almost certain that in the next few years everyone will see what we see, and that the need to proceed with great caution while maximizing the broad benefits and opportunities is essential

“Given the possibilities of our work, OpenAI cannot be an ordinary company. It is a blessing and a humbling experience to be able to play a role in this work.

Despite warnings about the dangers of superintelligence, the company recently disbanded the teams that worked on AI security. This has drawn criticism from some researchers who attribute the changes to the company's commercial ambitions.

Altman responded to critics' comments about the lack of attention to security: “I would point to our track record.
