OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever recently gave a speech at the Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2024 conference in Vancouver, Canada, arguing that the era of artificial intelligence pre-training is coming to an end and predicting the rise of AI superintelligence. Sutskever said the rate at which computing power can be improved through better hardware, software and machine learning algorithms outpaces the total amount of data available for training artificial intelligence models, which he compares to fossil fuels and will eventually run out. Sutskever predicts that agent AI, synthetic data, and inference-time computing are the next developments in artificial intelligence, which will eventually lead to super artificial intelligence.
