Sam Altman says AI has crossed a major threshold, forecasts discovery engines by 2026
OpenAI’s Altman warns AI has fundamentally advanced and expects machines to make discoveries by 2026‑28.
OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman stated that AI systems have passed a pivotal milestone where machines not only converse but begin to *think* and *discover*.
He projected that by 2026, AI will handle small scientific discoveries and by 2028 will tackle major breakthroughs.
Altman warned that “we do not know how to think about systems that can do tasks that would take a person centuries.” Yet he emphasised that daily life may remain stable as societies adjust to the technological shift.
