Altman mentioned that current artificial intelligence models have already shown potential exceeding the intelligence of many people, such as the latest GPT-5 model. He believes that if humans have not developed more advanced AGI than existing technology by 2030, it would be a puzzling phenomenon. He is convinced that future AGI will have far superior intelligence to humans, capable of performing many tasks that we cannot currently accomplish.
When discussing the work transformations that AI may bring, Altman encouraged the public to view this trend positively. He pointed out that many jobs today no longer exist, even without the emergence of AI, society has always been changing. He mentioned that AI will redefine work content and may cause some traditional professions to disappear. At the same time, he emphasized the importance of adapting to the new environment. He believes that future vocational education should focus on cultivating people's learning abilities and adaptability, helping them understand market demands and develop useful products and services.
Regarding the relationship between humans and AI, Altman stated that the development of AGI does not mean the end of humanity. He described AGI as a "caring mother" that cares for humans, but he also acknowledged that AGI may bring side effects that are difficult for humans to understand. He believes that if the correct values are instilled during the development of AGI, AI will not pose a threat to humans.
Finally, Altman shared his personal views on life, stating that he would not use ChatGPT to solve emotional problems, showing his emphasis on human emotions.
