OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reflects on the early days of the company when they faced mockery and disbelief for announcing their intention to work on AGI. He discusses the current moment in the history of human civilization, where AI is on the cusp of surpassing human intelligence on many levels. Altman notes that this is both exciting and terrifying as it has the potential to change society fundamentally. He emphasizes the importance of conversations about AIs power, its deployment, and the incentives for safety and human alignment of this power. The conversation then turns to GPT-4, which Altman believes will be looked back on as an early AI system that led to something significant.
