AI Superintelligence by 2030: OpenAI CEO’s Existential Warning

Anthropic CEO warns that by 2027, AI may reach human-level intelligence faster than society, governments, and safety systems expect.

He explains AI progress is not slow anymore, but accelerating quickly, creating systems humans may struggle to fully understand.

According to the warning, future AI could perform tasks equal to millions of experts working nonstop inside powerful data centers.

This level of intelligence could improve medicine, science, and work efficiency, but risks rise sharply if strict global rules are missing.

The biggest worry is misuse, where powerful AI tools become easily available to harmful groups without proper checks or responsibility.

Jobs may change very fast, removing routine roles and pushing people to learn new skills quicker than ever before.

The CEO says this is not movie-style fear, but a practical warning based on how fast AI is advancing today.

He reminds leaders that waiting is risky, urging early action, shared rules, and cooperation before AI grows too powerful.

Humans must stay thoughtful decision makers, guiding AI with ethics and responsibility, not rushing behind profits, speed, or rivalry.

His message feels simple and honest: AI can truly help humanity, but careless choices today may cause lasting damage forever.
