Sam Altman on AGI: people will freak out then move on

If artificial general intelligence is achieved, it will be able to outperform humans on most intellectual tasks. The Economist asks Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI, how worried the world should be about AGI.

"I think we will both invent AGI sooner than most of the world thinks, and in those first few years, it will change the world much less, and in the long term, it'll change it more." -- Sam Altman

The articles of The Economist are almost never signed, and there is no list of editors and staff in the entire publication, and even the name of the editor in chief does not appear. This anonymous writing system has received some criticism.

This guy seems to sure of himself. Why does he answer this as if he is sure of what's going to happen. He has no clue just like the rest of us. Down playing

Why we would let a Silicon Valley tech kid decide over existential risks, is beyond belief to me.
