In this episode of the OpenAI Podcast, CEO Sam Altman joins host Andrew Mayne to explore the future of AI, focusing on the development of GPT‑5 and long-term aspirations toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Altman shares that GPT‑5 is expected to launch “some time this summer,” and discusses the paradigm shift AI is bringing—requiring new skills and mindset changes across industries. He frames modern progress in AI as the culmination of centuries of innovation, emphasizing that current breakthroughs like ChatGPT are built on a long history of scientific work. The conversation also touches on practical challenges around alignment, multimodal capabilities, and the evolving role of operability in Agentic AI systems targeted for on-device deployment.

Video: Andrew Ng (CEO of AI Fund) on Building Faster with AI

In this talk at AI Startup School in San Francisco, AI luminary Andrew Ng shares his vision for accelerating AI adoption in business, emphasizing how organizations can “build faster” by integrating open‑source models and fostering internal experimentation. He highlights a growing trend where some firms amplify AI due to fear—using perceived risks to suppress open‑source alternatives and advocate stricter regulation. Ng advocates for transparency, collaboration, and thoughtful regulation that encourages innovation rather than stifles it.

Video: Eric Schmidt (Ex CEO of Google) on the Future of AI

In this interview, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt shares his vision of how artificial superintelligence might evolve and what it could realistically look like. He predicts that in the next 1–2 years, AI systems will reach a level where they function as world-class mathematicians and programmers, accelerating innovation and scientific discovery. Schmidt discusses the road toward artificial superintelligence (ASI), emphasizing that such systems will emerge incrementally as current models increasingly take on higher-level cognitive tasks. He frames ASI not as an abrupt event, but a progression of capabilities that culminate in systems able to not just compute, but autonomously create and reason at expert levels.

In his GTC Paris keynote delivered at VivaTech 2025, Jensen Huang unveils NVIDIA’s bold vision for the next wave of AI infrastructure and Agentic AI systems. Huang lays out a strategy to build “AI factories” across Europe. The keynote signals a shift from generative AI toward agentic systems—intelligent agents that reason, plan, and operate autonomously using multimodal, memory‑rich inputs across robotics, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation.

Video: Y Combinator Partners on How to succeed in the AI Era

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShYKkPPhOoc

In this Y Combinator–style talk, the speakers argue that traditional career advice is obsolete in the age of AI, where fields once considered stable—like computer science—are now highly volatile, with AI disrupting job security and educational prestige alike. They emphasize that young professionals and entrepreneurs should not just chase conventional achievements—but instead embrace future‑forward thinking: proactively anticipate emerging needs, master AI tools, and build niche expertise anchored in unique value creation. The message reframes AI not as a threat, but as a strategic accelerant: live ahead of the curve mentally, lean into experimentation, and position yourself to succeed in domains shaped by rapidly evolving intelligence systems in your twenties and beyond.
