It seemed very improbable, and now we&#8217;re like, actually in the moment that we used to talk about at the lunch table in a very not serious way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who aren&#8217;t into science fiction, the singularity refers to the moment where the growth of robots (or in this case, AI) has surpassed human control or human intelligence (in this case, the latter). Effectively, the moment where you can&#8217;t exactly put the genie back in the bottle. Altman seems to believe that generative AI has already become so powerful that it&#8217;s surpassing human intelligence. <\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-XZKx1e\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/XZKx1e.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Altman says, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been waiting for this my whole life, and I think it&#8217;s going to be incredible, hugely positive, awesome for the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Altman does note the downsides. He is critical of &#8220;some of the alternative visions painted by other companies&#8221; and thinks that AI still needs a lot of work to make it safer. Altman also acknowledges &#8220;major economic issues, future of jobs, all of that kind of stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In turn, Altman argues that humanity should push towards a world of &#8220;liberty&#8221;, instead of &#8220;AI authoritarianism.&#8221; Altman argues &#8220;Are we going to decide that, because of the very real safety issues and economic issues that, you know, we want one single model to be the machine god or the company associated to do that\u2026 or are we going to say, you know what, it may be a little messy, but every time that humanity has traded off its liberty for safety it&#8217;s been a long-term net loss?&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2705px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.27%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"LG2jMDfm3daEZ45MmZEcHS\" name=\"GettyImages-2197510741\" alt=\"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman throws up his hands.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/openai-ceo-thinks-the-ai-singularity-is-already-upon-us-and-that-cracking-down-on-it-wouldnt-be-good-for-humanity-because-of-course-he-does.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2705\" height=\"1522\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Bloomberg via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Effectively, he doesn&#8217;t want AI to be cracked down on, which ties back into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/jensen-huangs-first-ever-post-on-x-is-in-defense-of-open-access-to-ai-models-alongside-google-openai-and-meta\/\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft open letter cosigned by Nvidia and OpenAI last week<\/a>. Tech companies are petitioning the US government not to shut down access to open weight AI models, arguing that greater access to those models could better prepare AI users for the future.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense for Altman, the leader of one of the biggest AI companies in the world, to not only tell you that AI is more advanced than humanity, but also that it&#8217;s good for humanity to prioritize AI advancement over safety.
