Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI and founder of Safe Superintelligence Inc., has announced the conclusion of the 'Scaling Era' in artificial intelligence. In a detailed interview with Dwarkesh Patel, Sutskever emphasized that the era of advancing AI through increased data and computational power, which has been prevalent since 2020, is yielding diminishing returns. He advocates for a transition to a 'Research Era' aimed at addressing core challenges such as reliable generalization and alignment. Sutskever highlighted the limitations of current AI models and underscored the importance of developing AI systems with human-like value functions. He envisions a future where AI systems are designed to care for sentient life, marking a significant shift in the focus of AI development.
