OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025
The AI revolution is here to stay, says Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. In a probing, live conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Altman discusses the astonishing growth of AI and shows how models like ChatGPT could soon become extensions of ourselves. He also addresses questions of safety, power and moral authority, reflecting on the world he envisions — where AI will almost certainly outpace human intelligence.

节目时间轴
Sam Altman demonstrates Sora's image generation capabilities and discusses the integration of intelligence into the model.
- Sora is part of GPT-4, so it has all the intelligence of the model, enabling it to create diagrams and images that reflect deep understanding.
- Altman grades Sora's output as a B+, noting it got the five fingers right but missed some details of his appearance.
- The new image generation model can produce profound meta-answers, like Charlie Brown imagining himself as an AI, but it's unclear if it's truly thinking or just recalling training data.
Discussion on intellectual property, creative consent, and the economics of AI-generated content.
- Altman acknowledges the need for new economic models around creative output, as AI democratizes access to creativity.
- He suggests that if an artist opts in, there could be a revenue-sharing model for using their style, but currently, the system refuses to generate in the style of living artists.
- The line between inspiration and copying is blurry, and society will need to figure out new rules, similar to how copyright law evolved.
Altman addresses the impact of DeepSeek and the role of open-source models in OpenAI's strategy.
- OpenAI is planning to release a powerful open-source model, near the frontier, better than any current open-source model.
- Altman admits they were late to act on open source but are now committed to doing it well.
- Despite massive investments, OpenAI is compute-constrained, and growth is not impacted by competitors like DeepSeek.
