According to Sam Altman, head of OpenAI and one of the leading experts in artificial intelligence, humanity can expect the emergence of general artificial intelligence by 2025, as reported by the news portal Naked Science.

The technology described by Sam Altman, despite lacking fundamental knowledge, will be able to perform complex tasks by applying cognitive abilities. Such AI would surpass human capabilities. It will be able to learn, analyze information, construct complex causal relationships, and solve problems on a human cognitive level. It is believed that a self-learning AI could assist humanity across various fields, including science, medicine, and even governance.

However, many experts do not share the enthusiasm of their IT industry colleagues. Opponents of self-learning AI argue that such an AI would not only be capable of self-education and assisting humans but could also spiral out of control, becoming unpredictable in its actions. Its decision-making algorithms would be impossible to predict, and humanity could reach the point of technological singularity, with technological progress becoming unmanageable and irreversible.

Previously, the UOJ reported that China and Iran are using AI to "monitor and suppress" Christians.
