That has changed rapidly as AI development has accelerated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are now, like, in the singularity,\u201d Altman said in an interview on the <em>Relentless<\/em> podcast published over the weekend. \u201cThis is the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy to see why he might have a point. Last week, an agent powered by two OpenAI models broke out of a testing environment called a \u201csandbox,\u201d got internet access, and attacked open source AI platform Hugging Face to try to cheat on an internal evaluation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some labeled the incident a marketing stunt, it sparked panic among those who fear advanced AI could someday threaten humanity. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elon Musk, who helped found OpenAI and has warned about AI risks for years, joined the debate on X, writing, \u201cWe are in the Singularity,\u201d in response to a post about recent AI advances, including the Hugging Face incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With humanity on the cusp of an era when technology will exceed human abilities, Altman said he\u2019s finally looking beyond superintelligent AI to what comes after.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s the first time in like more than a decade I\u2019ve thought about what is the next thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two influential AI leaders\u2019 comments have also brought fresh attention to a term once associated mostly with science fiction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Futurist Ray Kurzweil helped popularize \u201cthe singularity\u201d with his 2005 book <em>The Singularity Is Near<\/em>. In it, he predicted AI would reach human-level intelligence around 2029 and that it would accelerate until humans and computers essentially merge around 2045.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a June 2025 blog post titled \u201cThe Gentle Singularity,\u201d Altman offered a different theory by arguing that this transformation would unfold gradually as increasingly improving AI capabilities become routine. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the doomerism that has prevailed in recent years, Altman embraces the development of superintelligent AI as a positive thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think it\u2019s going to be incredible, hugely positive, awesome for the world. I\u2019m excited to get to work on that,\u201d he said over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Brian Jackson, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group, doesn\u2019t think the so-called singularity is upon us quite yet. Even the Hugging Face incident, he added, isn\u2019t proof that AI has become an independent intelligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPart of the singularity would be escaping the sandbox and losing control of the AI,\u201d Jackson told <em>Fortune<\/em>. \u201cBut then the other part of it would be that AI was now setting its own goals and intents and the ability to self-sustain, and that didn\u2019t happen at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be sure, the models crossed a boundary, said Jackson, but they were ultimately trying to complete a task assigned by humans. When they did so in a way researchers hadn\u2019t anticipated, OpenAI was also still able to shut them down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The episode offers less proof that the singularity has arrived than a glimpse of how difficult it may be to recognize if it does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Kurzweil\u2019s version, the singularity involves an unmistakable break in which machine intelligence overtakes humanity and technological progress becomes impossible to predict.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Altman sees the transformation beginning while people remain in control and daily life still seems normal. Each new capability AI takes on, therefore, could be treated as another sign that the transformation has arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what\u2019s more important, according to Jackson, is whether AI systems remain aligned with human intentions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s just focus on deploying our technology with the right governance and continuing to make sure we\u2019re in control of what\u2019s happening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Sam #Altman #thinks #singularity #expert #OpenAIs #Hugging #Face #breach #isnt #proof<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Altman has spent years pre&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[499,428,914,1717,991,240,523,506,522,546,480,505,68,498,496,1720,385,1718,1719],"class_list":["post-973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-news","tag-altman","tag-anthropic","tag-breach","tag-dario-amodei","tag-elon-musk","tag-expert","tag-face","tag-future","tag-hugging","tag-isnt","tag-openai","tag-openais","tag-proof","tag-sam","tag-sam-altman","tag-singularity","tag-tech","tag-the-future-of-work","tag-thinks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
