Speaking at the G20 alongside U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Sam Altman argued:
- Efficiency leap: about three months of startup work can now be done in roughly 17 minutes.
- National stakes: a country rejecting AI would be like a country rejecting electricity.
- He called AI something "every person, every business, and really the entire machine of society" will need to deliver the quality of life citizens should demand.
- Generational take: kids growing up today may never be smarter than AI.
