OpenAI CEO predicts AI's 'Novel insights' in 2026
OpenAI's Sam Altman thinks AI is about to level up—he predicts that by 2026, artificial intelligence won't just automate tasks but will actually create brand-new knowledge and ideas. This shift could mean AI helps solve tough problems in ways humans haven't managed yet.
AI expected to drive breakthroughs in several industries
If Altman's right, industries like biotech, chip design, and material science could see major breakthroughs—think faster research and cheaper innovation. Big names like OpenAI, Google, and FutureHouse are already investing heavily to make sure AI can handle creative and analytical thinking on a much bigger scale.
Future AIs will be much better than humans at generating knowledge
Altman envisions future AIs to be much better than humans at generating new knowledge, coming up with insights teams of people might miss. It's a vision that matches where top tech companies are putting their energy right now.
