But with the San Francisco -based company not yet turning profitable, it can also raise concerns about an AI bubbles if generic AI products made by OpenAI and its rivals are not met by billions of dollar -dollar investors in research and development.
Openai CEO Sam Altman has sought to dismiss the concerns that recently visited a large -scale data center complex to run the company’s AI system in Abilin, Texas last week.
Ultman said after being asked about a bubble, “We are already working between ten years and we will be boom and bust for many decades ahead.” “People will overgrow and lose money, and will lose underwinwests and lots of revenue.”
He said that “we will allocate some dumb capital” and short-term fluctuations but that “the arc on which we have to plan, we believe that this technology will run a new wave of unprecedented economic development, as well as scientific successes, improvement of quality of life and” new ways to express “creativity”.
