Sam Altman's, OpenAI's CEO, recent statement suggesting that artificial intelligence may have already surpassed human intelligence offers a significant perspective on the investment world. While robots walking the streets and constant AI conversations aren't yet commonplace, Altman believes that AI systems are already smarter than humans in many ways. This vision, where intelligence and energy become "wildly abundant" by 2030, presents both immense opportunities and new risks for investors.
From an AI expert's perspective, Altman's observations that AI is already better at coding and that systems capable of generating novel insights will arrive next year are critical. This development could accelerate technological innovation at an unprecedented pace. Companies that can effectively leverage AI in their product development, operational efficiency, and customer service are likely to experience significant growth. Investors should pay attention not only to direct AI companies but also to traditional industries that strategically integrate AI. Software companies offering AI solutions to other businesses and companies developing AI infrastructure (such as semiconductors and cloud services) are particularly interesting targets.
From an economist's perspective, Altman's vision of "wildly abundant" intelligence and energy could lead to an explosion in productivity. This could mean faster economic growth, easing inflationary pressures, and an increase in living standards in the long run. On the other hand, it's important to consider potential socioeconomic impacts, such as job displacement and a more unequal distribution of income if the benefits of AI are concentrated among a few. This could lead to new economic policy challenges. Investors should consider how the proliferation of AI affects employment and wage levels across different industries and seek investment opportunities that benefit from automation or can adapt to the changing labor market. According to PwC's Global AI Jobs Barometer 2025 report, workers in industries that benefit most from AI see their incomes grow twice as fast as those in other sectors, and AI skills command a 56% wage premium. This suggests that while some jobs may disappear, new, higher-value creative roles will emerge.
From an investment perspective, Altman's statement underscores the strategic importance of AI. While technology markets have reacted positively, as evidenced by the 4% rise this year in the Invesco QQQ fund, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index, risks are still present. For example, Apple has pointed out that current chatbots may fail in reasoning tasks, reminding us that AI technology is still evolving and carries uncertainties. Investors should avoid blind euphoria and instead conduct thorough due diligence, analyze companies' true ability to leverage AI, and assess their long-term sustainability in an ever-changing environment. Diversification and a long-term strategy are key in this dynamic market. According to an IMF analysis, nearly 40 percent of global employment is exposed to AI, with advanced economies facing greater risks but also more opportunities to benefit from AI.
