OpenAI CEO reveals plan to achieve ‘perfect memory’
OpenAI launches GPT-5, its first flagship update to ChatGPT model in years
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicts the next major AI breakthrough will be the development of "infinite, perfect memory" for AI systems.
Mr Altman said that OpenAI aims to achieve this capability by 2026, allowing AI to recall every detail of a user's life, unlike human assistants.
He highlighted that while current AI advancements focus on reasoning, perfect memory is the crucial next step for AI to deeply integrate into users' lives.
Altman addressed the competitive landscape, acknowledging that Google's Gemini 3 identified weaknesses in OpenAI's product and strategy, which they are quickly rectifying.
OpenAI's strategy to lead the AI race involves developing superior models, building the best products, and ensuring robust infrastructure, as ChatGPT's market share has decreased while Google Gemini's has grown.
