I've been frequently sounding the alarm on the path that OpenAI has taken since it started its partnership with Microsoft. I've argued that the artificial intelligence lab has gradually swayed from pursuing science to creating profitable products for its main financial backer. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman put some of my doubts to rest this week with a blog post in which he laid out the lab's plan for artificial general intelligence (AGI). Regardless of where you stand on the AGI debate, the post includes some interesting points about how OpenAI plans to tackle the challenges of AI research and product development. And I think this is important because many other research labs will be facing similar challenges in the coming years.
