With speculation online about OpenAI having reached the AGI stage of ChatGPT development, Sam Altman says that's not what's happening.

The OpenAI CEO recently published a blog post reflecting on AI progress, as well as his brief ouster from the company.

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman has dismissed speculation about his company's imminent release of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). In an X post, he addressed the escalating rumors, stating unequivocally that they will not be launching AGI next month.

Alan Thompson, an expert in artificial intelligence and former chairman of Mensa International, runs the Conservative Countdown to AGI web page, and has increased the countdown to achieving AGI as 88% complete in light of Altman’s latest comments, along with the release of Nvidia Cosmos for training humanoid robots.

OpenAI will unveil new PhD-level super agent AI to US officials in a closed-door meeting on January 30. These AI models are considered a generational leap for the technology and can handle complex tasks such as managing a global supply chain.

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has watered down fans’ wild online speculation about his company’s capabilities following rumors the company was close to superintelligence. This followed excitement among fans as rumors circulated online that the ChatGPT maker had achieved General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) behind closed doors.
