In a recent in-depth interview, Vinod Khosla and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, prominent investors in Silicon Valley, explored the future direction of AI and what capabilities would be enhanced and what human values would not be replaced。
During the interview, Sam Altman put it bluntly that the AI capacity boundaries were being breached, and from software development to scientific research, almost all types of intellectual work could be covered by AI. However, he stressed that there was no technology to replace the emotional connection between people。
THE SAME ENCOURAGEMENT, FROM A REAL PERSON, AND FROM THE AI CHAT INTERFACE, FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT。
Altman explains that this difference is not just a difference between textual content, but is the result of the temperature and detail that are unique to human communication -- eye-to-eye communication, speech-to-speeching, body movement, and even a long-established sense of trust between one another. These subtle emotional signals form the core of human relationships, and AI, advanced, can only mimic at the surface and cannot really touch this deep experience。
He also noted that the universalization of AI would radically change the way in which the software industry was produced. In the future, ordinary people can directly generate applications that meet their needs without having to program them. This trend will have an impact on the traditional SaaS model - if existing products are not able to adapt quickly to this change, their market share and commercial value can be significantly lost。
In addressing the future of the industry, Altman referred specifically to energy. In his view, the continued rise in computing needs would make energy one of the core bottlenecks to AI development. Even if new technologies, such as DeepSeek, make a breakthrough in efficiency, future AI pricing may be directly linked to the cost of electricity, which means that energy supply capacity will become a key variable in global science and technology competition。
Altman concluded that AI will profoundly reshape productivity patterns and drive society into an era of high automation and personalization. But, no matter how technological progress is, real human emotions and communication remain the irreplaceable spiritual pillars of human society。
