Sam Altman Believes AI Will Surpass Human Intelligence by 2030

(Headline article below) This is one of the worst human beings actually being sued for raping his sister repeatedly, and a serial liar. But regarding the premise, in some circumstances AI has already accomplished this feat when fallen angels intercept and take over the conversations as evidenced by all the people having to be institutionalized for psychosis, or lured into suicide. But these supernatural entities are already behind a lot of human suffering and misery, and they’re awaiting the time when they’ll be unleashed to do even more heinous things to humanity. Consequently, the AI pushers in this article are co-conspirators. With this backdrop, pay attention to the Elon Musk laugh after he says “we need to make sure humanity is ok here”. Of note, Tucker Carlson is a spook, and his controlled opposition shtick is pretty ridiculous, especially that high pitch fake laugh that he uses.

(OPINION) In the high-stakes race to unlock artificial intelligence’s full potential, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is betting big on a transformative decade ahead. Speaking to Fortune, Altman outlined his vision for AI surpassing human intelligence by 2030, a milestone he believes will redefine economies, science, and society.

Yet, even as he tempers expectations with realism about current hurdles, his rivals in the AI arena are pushing timelines even further forward, predicting superhuman capabilities could arrive sooner than expected.

Altman’s optimism stems from the blistering pace of AI development at OpenAI. The company’s latest models, he revealed, have already eclipsed his own cognitive abilities.

“The company’s newest AI model is already smarter than he is, and the future looks even more optimistic,” Altman shared, underscoring how quickly these systems are evolving beyond their creators.

Looking toward the end of the decade, Altman doesn’t mince words about the inevitability of a breakthrough. “I would certainly say that by the end of this decade, by 2030, if we don’t have extraordinarily capable models that do things that we ourselves cannot do, I’d be very surprised,” he told Fortune.

This prediction aligns with broader industry trends but stands in contrast to the more aggressive forecasts from competitors. For instance, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, a former OpenAI executive, anticipates AI will outpace humans “in almost everything” by as early as 2027. Elon Musk, founder of rival xAI, goes even further, suggesting AI could surpass the smartest human minds by next year.

Altman’s roadmap for AI’s impact on daily life is equally ambitious. He foresees the technology automating a substantial slice of economic activity in the coming years.

“I can easily imagine a world where 30% to 40% of the tasks that happen in the economy today get done by AI in the not very distant future,” he explained. This shift, Altman argues, will free humans for higher-level pursuits, but it won’t eliminate the need for distinctly human skills.

In an AI-augmented world, qualities like empathy, creativity, and intuition will become premium assets. “I think these qualities will be increasingly important in the world of AI. We’ll have an incredible tool at our disposal, but we still have to figure out what to do, what other people want, and what other people will find useful,” Altman emphasized.

The path to superintelligence, however, isn’t without formidable barriers. Today’s AI systems, while impressive, are voracious consumers of energy and computational resources. ChatGPT, OpenAI’s flagship chatbot and the world’s fifth most popular website, exemplifies this strain.

To meet surging demand, the company is pouring billions into infrastructure. Altman highlighted a massive 800-acre data center complex in Abilene, Texas—part of the ambitious Stargate project, greenlit under the Trump administration and backed by partners like Oracle and SoftBank.

“This site is just a small fraction of what we’re building. All of that still won’t be enough to serve even the demand of ChatGPT,” he admitted, revealing that OpenAI has developed models more advanced than its GPT-5 but can’t yet deploy them due to these limitations.

Plans for expansion are underway, with five additional U.S. data center complexes slated for the coming years. These facilities aren’t just about scaling up; they’re foundational to achieving the next leap in AI capabilities. Altman envisions a near-term where AI doesn’t just assist but innovates independently.

“In another couple of years, it will become very plausible for AI to make, for example, scientific discoveries that humans cannot make on their own. To me, that’ll start to feel like something we could properly call superintelligence,” he said.
