Congratulations OpenAI team.”\n\nThe exact definition of AGI is contested among industry figures, though according to [OpenAI’s charter](https://openai.com/charter/) it involves “highly autonomous systems that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work”.\n\nIn a press call to unveil the latest version of ChatGPT, OpenAI president Greg Brockman said “welcome to the AGI era”, describing the new model as a “generational leap in capability”.\n\nHe added: “If we fast forward a couple years, and we look back and say when was it really that AGI was created, I think it’s going to be about this time, and I think it might be about this model.”\n\nHis claims came just days after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that AGI was “at best... a very poorly defined term”.\n\nSpeaking on the Sources podcast, he said: “I was going to say it’s like an irrelevant marketing term.”\n\nIn independent benchmark tests that aim to measure how close an AI model is to AGI, ChatGPT Astra set new high scores that closely matched human scores.\n\nGreg Kamradt, from the ARC Prize Foundation that develops the tests, described it as a “meaningful step change in frontier-model performance”.\n\nDespite this, some industry figures remain sceptical of labeling any current AI models as human-level.\n\nIn response to Mr Huang’s comments, tech consultant Marko Tasic disputed his claims, describing it as a marketing stunt ahead of a potential initial public offering (IPO).\n\n“No, it’s not AGI,” he said. “This is just PR before IPO. Pump and dump, nothing more.”\n\n## Join our commenting forum\n\nJoin thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies\n\n[Comments](#comments-area)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-chatgpt-is-worlds-first-human-level-ai-says-nvidia-boss", "canonical_source": "https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/chatgpt-astra-agi-nvidia-huang-ai-b3046386.html", "published_at": "2026-09-08 11:49:23+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-08 12:02:28.924588+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-products", "ai-research"], "entities": ["Nvidia", "Jensen Huang", "OpenAI", "ChatGPT Astra", "Greg Brockman", "Sam Altman", "Anthropic", "Google"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-chatgpt-is-worlds-first-human-level-ai-says-nvidia-boss", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-chatgpt-is-worlds-first-human-level-ai-says-nvidia-boss.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-chatgpt-is-worlds-first-human-level-ai-says-nvidia-boss.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-chatgpt-is-worlds-first-human-level-ai-says-nvidia-boss.jsonld"}}
