Sam Altman Says the Singularity Is Imminent - Here's Why
- On June 12, 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote a blog post claiming humanity has passed the AI 'event horizon' and the takeoff toward superintelligence has started.

- He argues AI progress will reshape society by eliminating some jobs, creating new opportunities, and eventually producing robots capable of real-world tasks by 2027.
- Altman asserts that the critical moment of rapid advancement has begun, describing it as the start of a significant takeoff, and predicts that achieving intelligence so affordable it no longer requires metering is within reach.
- His view implies an imminent shift to massively powerful AI with broad impacts, though critics question timing and call for policies addressing job displacement.
