IMF Bangkok Conference Speech Sparks Heated Debate: Former Co-Founders of OpenAI and Anthropic Claim “The Singularity Has Already Begun”
On October 17, 2026, a former OpenAI employee and co-founder of Anthropic delivered a speech at the IMF conference in Bangkok, arguing that “the technological singularity has already begun,” citing AI systems’ demonstrated capacity for autonomous research in fields such as mathematics, biology, physics, and robotics. The data cited—such as TheoPhysEval’s 98% score and Humanity’s Last Exam rising to 67.7%—were sourced from the speaker himself and affiliated institutions, with no third-party verification. The speech underscored the AI-driven transformation of scientific paradigms and its economic implications, while explicitly stating that this assessment reflects a subjective viewpoint rather than a scientific consensus.
