Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, stated that the term 'Artificial General Intelligence' (AGI) is becoming less meaningful as the company approaches this benchmark with its o1 model. Altman predicts that by the end of 2025, AI systems will be capable of performing complex cognitive tasks that may surpass human abilities in solving difficult problems. OpenAI has also introduced a preview of its new o3 reasoning models, which Altman described as marking the beginning of the 'next phase' of AI development. However, experts, including François Chollet, have indicated that these advancements do not equate to achieving AGI.
