OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has set a new date for AGI, claiming that by the end of 2028, most of humanity's intellectual capacity could reside inside data centers rather than human minds.

OpenAI is close to finalizing a record-breaking $100 billion funding round backed by Amazon, SoftBank, NVIDIA, and Microsoft, pushing its valuation above $850 billion in the largest AI startup financing in history.
