   'A kid born in 2025 is unlikely to ever be as smart as artificial   
   intelligence': Sam Altman thinks it's OK for AI to be smarter than us all -   
   and I am sure we will be totally, totally fine

   Description:   
   Sam Altman says humanity can still find happiness and purpose in an AI-driven   
   age.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   At GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman joined remotely from San   
   Francisco for a conversation with Peng Xiao, the Group CEO of G42.    
      
   The discussion, attended by TechRadar Pro , explored the rise of artificial   
   intelligence as both a tool and a social force, and what it means for a world   
   that may soon live alongside superintelligence.    
      
   Possibly the sessions most striking moment came when the moderator, Amandeep   
   Bhangu, said, Youve also said that a kid born in 2025 is unlikely to ever be   
   as smart as artificial intelligence. Altman, smiling at the reference, said,    
   I have a kid who was born in 2025, and I dont think hell be smarter than AI.   
   But I dont think that will get in the way of his happiness or fulfillment at   
   all.   
      
   An AI designed home    
      
   Altman also described the idea as sort of strange, and also to him it's the   
   only world he'll ever know, and I think we've lost sight of what this says   
   about the arrival of super intelligence and certain human condition."    
      
   Peng Xiao presented the UAEs progress toward becoming what he called an   
   AI-native society and said the G42 chairmans office now operates with a   
   10-to-1 ratio of AI agents to humans.    
      
   We absolutely put humans at the center of this AI revolution, he said. Our   
   employees are amplified through AI agents. This forms a new kind of team.    
      
   If your home is designed by ChatGPT, if you have more agents working for you   
   than humans, AI has already arrived and is an integral part of our everyday   
   life, Xiao added, having previously revealed that the G42 chairmans home was   
   created entirely through ChatGPT using more than 500 prompts and constructed   
   in less than a year.    
      
   Altman also spoke about OpenAIs progress, revealing that, for the first time,   
   GPT-5 is making very small but real scientific breakthroughs.    
      
   He described scientific progress as the heartbeat of sustainable human   
   advancement and predicted that by 2026, AI systems would uncover new insights   
   and, by 2027, robots would perform practical, real-world tasks.    
      
   Both leaders also discussed Project Stargate , a G42OpenAI collaboration to   
   build a one-gigawatt data center in the UAE, expanding to five gigawatts.    
      
   Energy was also a focus - paraphrasing a previous conversation he'd had with   
   Altman not long ago, Peng said, The cost of intelligence eventually will    
   equal the cost of energy. Energy is the key. Every nation needs to have a   
   smart energy policy, energy plan."    
      
   Altman agreed, adding, "But the reason we do all of this is because we    
   believe it can transform the world for people. It can unlock all sorts of   
   incredible new things. People deserve this, and Im delighted to work with my   
   friend Peng to try to get there."    
      
   Altman closed by saying, I think this is both the most exciting scientific   
   endeavor I have ever seen in history, and the thing that will most improve   
   people's lives. To get to work on that is exhausting and a great honor."
