Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, believes that the arrival of superintelligence is just a few thousand days away. In a recent blog post, titled ‘The Intelligence Age ’, Altman said that, “It is possible that we will have superintelligence in a few thousand days (!); it may take longer, but I’m confident we’ll get there.”

“The dawn of the Intelligence Age is a momentous development with very complex and extremely high-stakes challenges,” Altman concluded. “It will not be an entirely positive story, but the upside is so tremendous that we owe it to ourselves, and the future, to figure out how to navigate the risks in front of us.”
