Q* Project By OpenAI
OpenAI staff believes Q* (pronounced Q-Star) could be a breakthrough in the startup’s work on artificial general intelligence (AGI). The firm defines AGI as autonomous systems that surpass humans in most economically valuable tasks.
A discussion related to Q* has also started on an OpenAI community forum after the news. Users raised concerns about whether OpenAI is following ethics.

Sam Altman last week teased major advances in sight in the artificial intelligence field that will improve the currently available model and initial AI developments such as ChatGPT.
