Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently shared his vision for the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In a blog post, he expressed confidence in achieving AGI, which mirrors human cognitive capabilities, and projected that AI agents could enter the workforce by 2025, enhancing productivity. Altman also aims to develop superintelligent tools.
Vitalik Buterin has raised concerns about the risks associated with superintelligent AI and proposed a 'soft pause' on AI computing. This discussion comes amid a focus on AI-driven innovations, with examples of AI agents being used in real-world applications, particularly in the crypto industry.
According to Altman’s projections, the first AI agents could enter the workforce by 2025, altering the way businesses operate. These AI agents, capable of performing tasks traditionally handled by humans, will enhance productivity. Altman’s vision extends further into the field of superintelligence, focusing on developing superintelligent tools.
However, Vitalik Buterin has raised alarm over the risks associated with superintelligent AI and proposed a ‘soft pause’ on AI computing to avoid potential threats. This contrasts Altman’s approach, suggesting rolling out AI slowly to give the world time to adapt.
The comments from Altman and Buterin come amid a continuous focus on AI-driven innovations. Recently, Haseeb Qureshi, founder of Dragonfly, highlighted in his 2025 predictions that AI agents are poised to revolutionize crypto. In October, Coinbase launched an AI tool called Based Agent that allows users to create AI Agents independently. Similarly, there are multiple examples of AI Agents being used for real-world purposes, such as blockchain startup Story Protocol hiring a Virtual Protocol AI Agent, Luna, to run its X account.
