Sam Altman delivers a statement and claims that his advanced model GPT-8 will be able to 'cure cancer': 'Many desire this advance'🙏

The creator of ChatGPT envisions a future in which OpenAI's artificial intelligence will be key to combating diseases like cancer.

Sam Altman believes that his AI will change everything.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and one of the most influential voices in the global debate on artificial intelligence, has recently shared a vision that goes far beyond the classic discussion about employment, automation, or fears of superintelligence.

His bet is ambitious and straightforward: he imagines a future in which models like the hypothetical GPT-8 could become decisive allies against the deadliest diseases of our time, including cancer, fundamentally transforming the way we understand health and science.

Sam Altman asserts that GPT-8, by 2035, will be capable of "curing cancer"

In a podcast with journalist Cleo Abram, Altman posed a very specific timeline.

By 2035, he claims, AI will be able to cure or at least successfully treat a significant number of diseases that today elude medicine.

The idea does not stop at an inspiring declaration: Altman describes a scenario in which advanced AI could design experiments, interpret results, suggest molecules, and accompany the process until regulatory approval, as if it were an tireless researcher.

Imagine asking a model to cure a particular type of cancer, he summarized, outlining a vision that sounds as much like science fiction as it does a scientific roadmap.

The plan he describes is meticulous. First, the AI would analyze all available literature and data on a specific type of cancer; then, it would propose a battery of experiments for a technician to execute in the laboratory.

With the results, the AI would adjust hypotheses, recommend new tests ranging from chemical syntheses to studies in animals and humans.
