OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has spoken about the AI industry's obsession with benchmarks being outdated — likening it to the processor wars between Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) — and argues it's time to focus on real-world impact, just like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) did.
What Happened: In a conversation with podcaster Theo Von last week at OpenAI's San Francisco office, Altman reflected on the current state of AI development and the so-called "race" to build advanced models or even artificial general intelligence (AGI).
