Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has shared that artificial intelligence (AI) agents could start working alongside humans in 2025.
AI agents are systems designed to make decisions and achieve goals with little human involvement. They can process complex tasks, think through problems, and act independently across multiple steps.
In a January 6 blog post titled “Reflections”, he explained that OpenAI is making steady progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI)—a form of AI that can think and reason like humans.

The introduction of ChatGPT became a crucial step in AI’s development. Altman stated, “We are finally seeing some of the massive upsides we have always hoped for from AI, and we can see how much more will come soon”.
Altman shared that OpenAI is confident in its ability to develop AGI. He added:
We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first AI agents ‘join the workforce’ and materially change the output of companies.
He described the process as iterative, with each step bringing the technology closer to its goal.
Altman explained that they are also working toward creating superintelligent tools—systems that surpass human capabilities in specific areas. He believes these tools could “massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation”.
Meanwhile, Vitalik Buterin recently proposed temporarily limiting global computing power as a way to address superintelligent AI risks. What’s the idea? Read the full story.
