Part 2/8:
The implications of this technology are profound. As Sam Altman noted, Deep Research is already accomplishing a single-digit percentage of all economically valuable work. While that may seem modest, it translates to an astounding trillions of dollars in value. Importantly, OpenAI characterizes economically valuable work as a key component in its road to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Vision for the Future
At the heart of OpenAI's future initiatives for its AI agents is a quest for autonomous task execution that fosters learning and knowledge discovery. Mark Chen, the head of research, emphasized the importance of models conducting independent tasks to deepen their understanding and become adept at synthesizing web data, thus inching closer to AGI.
