Artificial intelligence can still be incomplete today, but co-founder and former chief scientist in Openi, Ilya Sutaskewar believes that this is only the beginning of a future that can quickly be unexpected and unimaginable. Speaking in a recent video interview with Israel’s Open University, Sutsevar said the rapid development of the AI ​​system could lead to a tipping point. Once the AI ​​starts improving in itself, the speed of progress can be spiral beyond human control or understanding. “AI is going to be both extremely unexpected and unimaginable,” he said.

While he accepted risks, Sutsevar also expressed optimism about the ability of technology to change the world. “If AI is quite capable, we will have incredible health care,” he said, saying that diseases can be cured and human lifetime can be extended.

Sutaskewar’s comment was shortly after, when he accepted an honorary degree from Open University, where he reflected his personal journey into artificial intelligence. He explained how, as an eighth grade student, he taught himself slowly and carefully and taught advanced subjects until he could understand them.
After transferring to Toronto, Sutaskewar made an unusual option: he left to complete the high school and instead transferred directly to the University of Toronto to study under AI Pioneer Jeffrey Hinton. “The place of the place,” he remembered.

This passion for learning inspired them to help them develop Alexnet, which is a groundbreaking neural network that re -shaped the area of ​​AI. That success attracted the attention of major technical companies, eventually leading sutskever and their colleagues to create a startup, which was later acquired by Google. His next step was the co-founder of OpenEE, who was inspired by the desire to make something meaningful “with all these magnificent people.”

In its recent comments, Sutskever stressed how AI is already capable of amazing tricks, calling its current situation “evocative”. He said that AI is already powerful that is enough to indicate vast possibilities, but has not yet been fully felt. He said that the AI ​​system would eventually be able to do everything that humans can, and perhaps more.

He gave his argument with a simple comparison: “We have a brain, the brain is a biological computer, so why can’t a digital computer, a digital brain, the same things?”

When there is pressure on how soon such a future can come, Sutskever estimated that success in true superintending could be in “three, five, perhaps ten years”. What comes later, he said, it is not clear. He said, “The rate of progress will be very fast for at least some time.”

That future, he said, is unavoidable. “Whether you like it or not, your life is going to be affected to a large extent AI.”

Sutskever also shared advice for the graduate class, encouraging them to focus on the present rather than staying on previous mistakes. “It is very easy to think,” Oh, some bad past decision or bad stroke of fate, “he said. “It is just so better and more productive to say, ‘Okay, things are those they are, what is the next best step?”

In late 2023, OpenAII CEO Sam Altman was deeply organized by his words, seeing his role in reducing the surprise. The Sutaskewar was part of the board that removed Altman, only later to express deep regrets and join the call for their restoration. Ultman returned within days, and Sutaskewar left the company after six months, focusing on the construction of “safe superintendent”.

Returning to its academic roots, Sutaskewar told graduates that AI’s age is contrary to any other moment in history. “We all live in the most unusual time ever,” he said. “And this time it is true that AI is due to.”
