OpenAI states that AI systems now outperform humans on some difficult intellectual tasks and that the gap between public perception and capability is immense.
It estimates the cost per unit of intelligence has been dropping roughly 40-fold annually, forecasting that by 2026 AI may make small discoveries and by 2028 significant ones.
To ensure broad benefit and mitigate risks, OpenAI recommends the field adopt shared standards among frontier labs, public oversight, an AI resilience ecosystem similar to cybersecurity, real-world impact measurement, and equitable individual access to advanced AI.
