OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared his vision for the future of the company and outlined key directions for further development, including substantial investments and the potential acquisition of Google's Chrome browser.
Investment Plans
Altman stated that OpenAI intends to invest record sums in building data centers, believing that this is necessary to sustain the growth of artificial intelligence. He expressed confidence that such investments are essential to meet the growing demand for their technologies, which has already led to a doubling of API traffic in just two days.
Possible Acquisition of Google Chrome
Altman also discussed the possibility of acquiring the Chrome browser, noting that antitrust pressures on Google could create such an opportunity. He remarked, "If Chrome is really going to sell, we should take a look at it." This thought was echoed amid recent reports of Perplexity AI's offer to purchase Chrome for $34.5 billion.
Future of Artificial Intelligence
Despite warnings about an "AI bubble," Altman believes that artificial intelligence is the "most significant thing to occur in a very long time." He expressed doubts about his future role as the CEO of OpenAI, suggesting that in three years, an AI program itself may be controlling the company.
Sam Altman's vision for OpenAI's future could reshape not only the company's own destiny but also the broader technology landscape.
