Read previewThe age of AGI is coming and could be just a few years away, according to OpenAI cofounder John Schulman.
Speaking on a podcast with Dwarkesh Patel, Schulman predicted that artificial general intelligence could be achieved in "two or three years."
A spokesperson for OpenAI told The Information that the remaining staffers were now part of its core research team.
Schulman's comments come amid protest movements calling for a pause on training AI models.
Groups such as Pause AI fear that if firms like OpenAI create superintelligent AI models, they could pose existential risks to humanity.
