AGI by 2026? Sam Altman shares OpenAI’s ambitious AI vision

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company could achieve artificial general intelligence AGI by the end of 2026, marking a major milestone in AI development.
AGI refers to AI systems capable of performing a wide range of intellectual tasks at human-level or beyond, unlike today’s specialised AI models.
Altman has previously acknowledged that predicting AI timelines is difficult, admitting earlier expectations about rapid AI progress were overly optimistic.
The statement comes as OpenAI continues competing with rivals and investing heavily in advanced models, computing infrastructure and future AI systems.
