Countdown to superintelligence begins

OpenAI’s countdown to superintelligence begins


🚨 Our Report — OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, has revealed that they “know how to build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)”—as they have traditionally defined it—and is now turning its attention to developing “superintelligence.”

🔓 Key Points:

  • OpenAI’s AGI definition is “autonomous systems that outperform humans at economically valuable work,” although recently, Microsoft (OpenAI’s biggest investor), defined it as “AI that can generate $100B.”

  • Altman believes that “Superintelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we are capable of doing on our own, and in turn, massively increase abundance and prosperity.”

  • And although he has previously warned that its impact could be “more intense than many anticipate,” he has predicted that “superintelligence could arrive within a ‘few-thousand-days.’

🔐 Relevance — Despite the “glorious future” that superintelligence could give us, OpenAI has grave concerns about how to transition into a world with superintelligent systems and safely steer or control these advanced AI systems, stopping them from going rogue, as humans will not be able to supervise them because they’ll be that much smarter: “Humans will not be able to reliably supervise AI systems much smarter than us, and so our current alignment techniques will not scale to superintelligence.”

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
