OpenAI CEO Confirms GPT-5's Ultimate Goal: Creating Super AI Equivalent to the Human Brain
-
On November 14th, in a recent interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated plans to secure additional funding from Microsoft to create a super AI equivalent to the human brain—Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Altman stated that although OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 have achieved good results in the consumer market, the company is still developing the next-generation artificial intelligence model GPT-5.
However, no specific timeline or progress details were revealed. It was only mentioned that GPT-5 would be more complex than GPT-4, and even the speaker could not accurately predict what new features and capabilities GPT-5 would possess.
Altman also stated that the ultimate goal of GPT-5 is to achieve super AI equivalent to the human brain. Currently, OpenAI has made some progress in building AGI, with large language models (LLMs) being the core component of AGI development:
Language is an excellent method for compressing information, as we have demonstrated with GPT-3, while Google DeepMind missed this opportunity. Although these companies have many smart people, they did not pursue this approach.
Altman believes that in the race to develop AGI, the most challenging area to overcome is the need for a fundamental leap in understanding within large language model systems, much like how Newton's invention of calculus wasn't simply a matter of reading and solving problems.
Regarding products like GPT-4 Turbo released at last week's developer conference, Altman told the media: These are not our real products, they are just our channels, Our ultimate vision is to build AGI, ensuring its safety and benefiting from it.
