Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has\nalready shaken the world with the innovations it offers. This technology\nis often blamed for the sluggish job market conditions.<\/p>\n
Tech giants are rushing to lay off employees for efficiency and to\nfocus investments on AI development. Many companies are beginning to\nadopt AI in their business operations, triggering a slowdown in hiring\nnew staff.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, developing AI that requires large-scale data\ncentre infrastructure is feared to have a negative environmental impact,\nas it consumes vast amounts of electricity and water. Not to mention\nderivative effects such as the spread of disinformation on the internet\nfacilitated by AI-enabled deepfakes.<\/p>\n
Despite the many risks and drawbacks, AI continues to be developed\nbecause it is seen as capable of boosting productivity and economic\ngrowth. Since last year, there have been reports of further advancements\nbeyond AI, known as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).<\/p>\n
AGI is a form of artificial intelligence touted to have\nhuman-equivalent cognitive abilities. AGI can understand, learn, reason,\nand apply knowledge on par with humans to accomplish various\nintellectual tasks.<\/p>\n
It could be said that if AGI is a smarter form of AI, it requires\nminimal human intervention to perform a wide range of tasks. This\nnaturally brings greater concerns over broader impacts compared to\nAI.<\/p>\n
On 26 April 2026, Sam Altman wrote on OpenAI\u2019s official page about\nthe company\u2019s principles in developing AGI. Altman is a key figure in\nthe AI adoption trend, following his company\u2019s launch of ChatGPT, which\nrocked the world at the end of 2022.<\/p>\n
In his latest post, Altman emphasised AI\u2019s significant potential to\nimprove human quality of life in various aspects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis technology, like previous technologies, will give humans more\ncapabilities and control. What humans can do with AI will far surpass\nwhat humans could do with steam engines or electricity,\u201d Altman said,\nquoted from OpenAI\u2019s official page on Monday (27\/4\/2025).<\/p>\n
However, Altman stated that AI\u2019s maximum benefits might only be held\nby a handful of companies or certain parties. To address this, the\ncompany has issued five main principles for advancing AGI development,\nto ensure benefits reach all parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur mission is to ensure that AGI benefits all of humanity,\u201d he\nwrote. Here are the five principles that will guide OpenAI\u2019s work in\ndeveloping AGI, as outlined by Altman:<\/p>\n
First, democratisation. Altman stressed that his company rejects the\npotential for AGI to be developed only by a select few. He said the\ncompany will provide access to everyone through a democratic\nprocess.<\/p>\n
Second, empowerment. Altman believes AI can make humans happier and\nmore prosperous, help them achieve their dreams, and society as a whole\nwill benefit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world is diverse and everyone has different needs. We want to\ngive users the autonomy they need and enable as much as we can\nreasonably do,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Third, universal prosperity. \u201cBy bringing easy-to-use AI systems with\nhigh computational power to everyone, we believe people will find new\nways to create value and massively improve quality of life for everyone,\nespecially through new scientific discoveries,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
This widespread prosperity is said to require assistance from various\nparties. Altman urged governments to reconsider new economic models that\nensure everyone participates in value creation. He also underlined the\nimportance of building large-scale AI infrastructure to curb the costs\nof developing new technologies.<\/p>\n
Fourth, resilience. \u201cAI will bring new risks, and we will work with\nother companies, ecosystems, governments, and society to address them.\nWe will significantly leverage our foundation\u2019s resources to support\nthis work,\u201d Altman said.<\/p>\n
Fifth, adaptability. \u201cWe still believe that the only way to face\nhighly unpredictable future challenges is to be prepared to update our\npositions as knowledge increases,\u201d Altman wrote.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he acknowledged that OpenAI is now a much greater force\nin the world than a few years ago. Looking ahead, he promised the\ncompany would be transparent about when, how, and why its operational\nprinciples change.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, while we are quite confident that universal prosperity\nwill remain very important, we can imagine a future period where we\nmight have to sacrifice some empowerment for greater resilience,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/new-technology-more-advanced-than-ai-could-completely-transform-the-world-1777301846", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
