Altman's latest interview: Don't expect AI to usher in a 4-hour workweek - 36Kr

Sam Altman said OpenAI is shifting more resources toward coding agents and other long-running AI agents.

He suggested the next phase of AI is not just chatbots, but persistent systems that can work continuously on behalf of users.

Altman also said key bottlenecks for “abundant intelligence” are chip manufacturing and electricity, not just model quality.

He downplayed the idea that AI will lead to a four-hour workweek or an ultra-short work society.
