Sam Altman revealed OpenAI's internal goals: achieving an automated AI research intern running on hundreds of thousands of GPUs by September 2026, and a true automated AI researcher by March 2028. While acknowledging potential failure, Altman emphasized public interest transparency. The safety strategy relies on five layers: Value alignment, Goal alignment, Reliability, Adversarial robustness, and System safety. Altman also highlighted Chain-of-thought faithfulness as a key but fragile safety tool.
