🤖 Sam Altman says OpenAI is entering its third act and AI may soon help build its own successors. For years, OpenAI was focused on one thing: reaching AGI. Then ChatGPT turned it into one of the fastest-growing consumer products in history. Now comes Phase 3. Altman and OpenAI’s lead scientist, Jakub Paczkowski, say the company’s new mission is bigger than building AI. The goal is to use AI to speed up science, boost economic growth, and make powerful intelligence cheap and accessible to everyone. The boldest prediction? By March 2028, OpenAI expects AI systems to be doing a significant share of its research alongside human scientists. In other words, AI could soon be helping invent the next generation of AI. The company compares this moment to the arrival of electricity: a foundational technology that reshapes nearly every industry, from healthcare and education to entrepreneurship and scientific discovery. One theme appears throughout the essay: powerful AI should be widely distributed, not controlled by a small group of companies or countries. That’s where things get interesting. OpenAI argues that concentrating AI power is dangerous, yet it has also pushed for restrictions on access to the most advanced American AI systems for rival nations, especially China.
