Deciding to start OpenAI was a pivotal moment for us. We almost didn't do it because AGI seemed like a crazy idea, and there were many other successful startups to pursue. It took a core group of people to look each other in the eye and commit to the mission, despite the doubts.

We're going for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and while 99% of the world thought we were crazy, 1% resonated with our vision. In 10 or 20 years, unless something goes wrong, we could achieve unimaginable superintelligence. This is the best time in history to start a company.

I was drawn to OpenAI because of its mission to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), which I believe is the most important technology we can build.

The founding spirit of OpenAI is focused on solving the safety problem associated with AGI, emphasizing that the greatest minds cannot solve it in isolation; they need to engage with reality and see how technology plays out in practice.

The development of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) will require careful consideration of how its benefits and decision-making processes are shared among society, ensuring equitable access and influence.

Investing in a startup that claims to have discovered the secret to artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a mistake; progress will come from collective research, not a single entity.

We need to ensure that AGI aligns with human values and works for us, rather than against us.

From the very beginning, we aimed to pursue Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) at a time when it was considered crazy to even mention it.

Until major companies achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), their primary focus will be on that goal, leaving a significant opportunity for startups to improve people's lives and businesses with existing tools.
