OpenAI: Now AI will give new ideas! Systems with 'novel insight' may come in 2026..

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has recently revealed in his article “The Gentle Singularity” that by 2026, such artificial intelligence systems can be developed, which will be able to generate new and original thoughts (Novel Insights). In this article, he has shared his view on the impact of artificial intelligence on human life in the next 15 years.

o3 and o4-mini models will give new ideas

This prediction of Altman is based on OpenAI's recent models o3 and o4-mini, which have been described by scientists as capable of generating useful and new ideas. Altman wrote, "In 2025, agents have arrived that can do real 'cognitive work'. Coding will no longer be the same." He also said that in 2026, such systems can come that will give completely new perspectives, and in 2027, such robots are also possible that will do real-world work.

Google is also in the race.
OpenAI is not the only company working in this direction. Many big tech companies including Google are developing AI models that will help scientists to make new theories and discoveries. Google recently published a research paper on an AI coding agent called AlphaEvolve, which is capable of suggesting new solutions to difficult mathematical problems.

Is AI not ready yet?

However, some experts are still skeptical about AI's ability to think fundamentally. Hugging Face Chief Science Officer Thomas Wolf says that existing AI systems are still not able to ask important questions, which is necessary for scientific discoveries. OpenAI's former research chief Kenneth Stanley also said that today's AI models are unable to formulate new hypotheses.

What is Altman's Vision 2030

Altman believes that by 2030, a person will be able to do as much work as many people together could not do in 2020. “In the 2030s, ideas and the power to turn them into reality will be available in abundance,” he wrote.
