OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said the company’s long-term strategy is to perfect advanced AI models and then integrate them with robotics, envisioning a future in which the highest-tier ChatGPT subscription could include a humanoid robot. Speaking in recent public remarks, Altman acknowledged that both the mechanical and cognitive challenges of building large numbers of robots remain significant, but said they are now “within reach,” even as mass production on the order of a billion units will take years. Altman also sketched out a broader product roadmap. He confirmed that OpenAI is developing a “Sign in with ChatGPT” authentication tool that would allow outside developers to tap user-level memory and context, and highlighted an upgraded ChatGPT Projects workspace that groups conversations, supports voice input, stores long-term context and accepts file uploads directly from mobile devices. Addressing concerns about competition with OpenAI’s core assistant, Altman advised founders to build around new use cases rather than replicate ChatGPT, arguing that current AI models can support far more sophisticated applications than are on the market today.
