OpenAI and NVIDIA (Nvidia Corp.) have recently developed large-scale investment cooperation plans, which have caused a lot of doubts about the investment circle and AI bubble. In addition to increasing the value of shareholders, it is still difficult to discuss what the ultimate goal of these large companies is. OpenAI President Greg Brockman's wish for agent AI (agentic AI) to work continuously in human sleep dreams can slightly explain the logic behind these big investment cases.
According to reports on the 29th, Brockman recently accepted a CNBC visit with OpenAI executive Sam Altman and NVIDIA executive Jensen Huang, who said in the future that there will be AI agents "work automatically when you sleep", and it is estimated that everyone on earth will have a dedicated picture processor (GPU).Brockman also predicted during the visit that to realize this future, the world will need 10 billion GPUs or equivalent computing power.
Brockman pointed out that compared with the AI computing power needed by the whole world, the industry is still far behind "three orders of magnitude off". To achieve an AI vision of "always-on, always-working", it will require about 10 billion GPUs - more than the total population of 8.2 billion on Earth. He believed that the world would advance toward the future of "economic drive from computing".
Otman said that the scale of cooperation between OpenAI and NVIDIA even surpassed the Apollo plan that sent humans to the moon. He believes that AI in the future is like a "superbrain" that integrates into our daily lives.
Perhaps some people may think the above statement is too great. However, former Microsoft executive Bill Gates also predicted in the early 1990s that in the future, every household would not only have a computer, but each desk would be placed. At that time, this idea came to the sky and some people were excited about it, and some were mocking it, but look at us today, everyone has a computer in their pockets.
