Recent discussions with Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman provide insights into the evolving timeline for GPT-5 and its successor. In an interview with AI and tech investor Seth Rosenberg, Suleyman delves into the future of generative AI and the quest to “define intelligence.” The conversation touches on the journey towards autonomous agents and the complexity of current chatbots in achieving that level of sophistication.
Suleyman emphasizes the challenges in getting models to follow instructions with subtlety and nuance, suggesting an upcoming shift to GPT-6-scale models for such capabilities. He anticipates a two-year timeline before systems are capable of taking consistent action, signaling a significant leap in AI advancement.
Comparing Suleyman’s insights to OpenAI CTO Mira Murati’s recent interview, there seems to be a convergence in describing the next generation of intelligent systems. Murati’s remarks hint at a rapid progression towards Ph.D.-level intelligence for specific tasks in the upcoming years.
Amidst speculation about the launch dates for GPT-5 and beyond, Suleyman also addresses the trajectory towards autonomous AI systems, emphasizing the importance of regulations and controlled autonomy to mitigate potential risks.
As Suleyman continues to shape the AI landscape at Microsoft, focusing on projects like Copilot and memory personalization, the dynamic space of AI evolution remains a fascinating realm for exploration.
