OpenAI Warns: Superintelligent AI Could Arrive Sooner Than You Think
3 min read OpenAI says AI is already 80% of the way to becoming an AI researcher — predicting small scientific discoveries by 2026 and major breakthroughs by 2028. As superintelligence nears, it’s calling for global safety standards, oversight, and coordination before it’s too late. November 10, 2025 16:06
OpenAI just released a bold vision of where artificial intelligence is heading — and it’s sounding the alarm on what comes next. The company says AI systems are now “80% of the way to an AI researcher” and could start making small scientific discoveries by 2026, with major breakthroughs by 2028.
Here’s what they’re seeing:
-
AI is already surpassing top humans in complex intellectual tasks — and getting exponentially cheaper, with “intelligence costs” dropping roughly 40x per year.
-
Scientific discovery is next. By the end of the decade, AI could be producing original research and accelerating human knowledge.
-
Global coordination is urgent. OpenAI is calling for governments, labs, and safety agencies to work together to prevent catastrophic risks like bioterrorism or runaway self-improvement.
-
Shared standards and resilience systems — similar to cybersecurity infrastructure — are needed to track real-world impacts and guide responsible progress.
Why it matters:
OpenAI’s message is clear: humanity is standing at the edge of a new era — one where machines might soon think, reason, and discover faster than we can. Whether that future is revolutionary or ruinous depends on how quickly the world builds collective safety and oversight before intelligence itself goes global.
