OpenAI has been making significant efforts to improve artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and now the company’s CEO, Sam Altman, has made startling predictions about the future.

In a blog post, OpenAI shared its thoughts on the future and discussed how Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is about to become an inevitable reality that will transform the world.

Altman stated that while progress may seem slow in real-world terms, he is confident that development toward AGI is on the right path. He made three major predictions regarding the future of AI.

1. Robotics:

Sam Altman predicts that 2025 will be the year of AI agents—systems capable of mimicking real cognitive functions and writing computer code. He believes 2026 will bring systems that can verify unique facts, while 2027 could be the year when robots capable of functioning in the real world emerge. According to him, robots that can build other robots are no longer a far-fetched idea.

2. Jobs:

Altman’s second prediction focuses on employment. He said that society will change to adopt AI—some people will lose their jobs but many new opportunities will also arise.

As technological advancement accelerates, people will become capable of adopting almost everything. While some industries may lose jobs, the world will become wealthier at a pace previously unimaginable.

According to Altman, superintelligence will create new opportunities, such as solving complex physics problems one year and establishing human settlements in space the next.

3. Accessibility of AGI:

His third prediction concerns the availability of AGI. Altman believes that in the future, superintelligent technologies will become cheap and widely accessible.

He emphasized that these AI systems will not be limited to any one individual, company, or country, giving users greater autonomy.

Previously, in February 2025, Sam Altman predicted that the era of smartphones would soon end.

In an interview with Japanese media, he spoke about OpenAI’s future plans, hinting that the company is working on a replacement for smartphones. He stated that OpenAI aims to develop ChatGPT-powered hardware (in simple terms: devices) as an alternative to smartphones.
