Recently, OpenAI executives have repeatedly mentioned the next generation of artificial intelligence in public forums, comparing its intelligence level to that of human graduate students or PhDs, which has sparked widespread attention. However, latest reports indicate that instead of the previously speculated GPT-5, OpenAI is developing an entirely new super AI agent, expected to be unveiled as early as January 30. Additionally, a report from Axios points out that OpenAI is actively consulting with US government officials regarding its release.

This super AI agent remains somewhat of a mystery. It's understood that an AI agent is a sophisticated software system capable of autonomously performing complex tasks with minimal human intervention. It can make decisions on behalf of users, adapt to and handle various situations, analyze large amounts of data, and consider multiple options. When given goal-oriented tasks, it can mimic human intelligence, demonstrating strong processing power and flexibility.

The super AI agent under development by OpenAI, according to reports, will be able to solve complex problems at the level of a PhD graduate. This undoubtedly enhances OpenAI’s competitiveness in the field of artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is expected to discuss the impact of AI on economic growth during meetings with US government officials, aligning with OpenAI’s recent blueprint focusing on integrating AI software systems into the US economy to promote economic growth and industrial upgrading.

However, with the rapid development of AI systems, some OpenAI employees have expressed concerns about potential issues arising from the company's progress in the AI domain. They worry that the swift advancement of AI technology might bring unpredictable risks and challenges, necessitating enhanced regulation and preventive measures from the company.

Notably, the timing of this super AI agent's launch has also attracted considerable attention. Previously, there were rumors in the market suggesting OpenAI was developing an intelligent agent software named "Operator". According to reports, this AI tool will be capable of executing multiple tasks on behalf of users, such as writing code, booking tickets, researching topics, and other complex tasks requiring several steps. This will undoubtedly provide users with more convenient and efficient experiences.
