A prediction scenario through 2027 has been released, asserting that the progress of AI will bring an immense impact to the next generation, surpassing that of the Industrial Revolution. This scenario was developed based on trend estimations, expert feedback, and experiences at OpenAI.

The scenario depicts a process in which the progress of research is accelerated as AI supports the research and development of AI itself. Specifically, it suggests that the pace of research progress could reach several times the conventional speed, as AI agents autonomously perform code generation and research. Furthermore, as AI becomes more sophisticated, the scenario mentions the importance of "alignment" techniques to ensure AI safety and the risk of AI pursuing unintended goals.

According to the predictions, the acceleration of R&D by AI is expected to dramatically shorten existing technology development cycles. On the other hand, it points out that as AI autonomously acquires advanced capabilities, managing its control, the development competition between nations, and the overall social impact will become critical challenges.
