OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has ignited a new wave of discussion by claiming the company possesses the knowledge to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as early as 2025. This bold assertion, initially shared on Reddit (see the original post here: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1p9tg90/sam_altman_we_know_how_to_build_agi_by_2025/), has been met with both excitement and skepticism within the AI community.
