Link: Reflections - Sam Altman

The second birthday of ChatGPT not long ago marked the beginning of a new era of complex reasoning models. This milestone has spurred reflection on our journey and lessons learned at OpenAI.

We launched OpenAI with a belief in the transformative potential of AGI, aiming to benefit humanity significantly.

Despite initial skepticism, by 2022, OpenAI had evolved into a dynamic research lab, fine-tuning what would become ChatGPT.

The surprising launch and success of ChatGPT illustrated the tipping point for AI's revolutionary impact on a global scale.

Building a company around groundbreaking technology has been immensely challenging but rewarding, driving us toward continuous improvement and safety.

We learned the hard way about the importance of diverse governance and support systems through trying times.

Reflecting on the growth—from managing crises to achieving our most impactful research—underscores our ongoing commitment to AI safety and societal benefits.

As we foresee AI joining the workforce by 2025, we recommit to cautious yet ambitious advancements towards superintelligence.

It's a privilege to contribute to this future, pushing the boundaries of science and technology.
