Altman: OpenAI will point its robots at building data centres

Sam Altman said OpenAI will aim its robotics programme at building data centres, including self-replicating ones he called "within grasp". He estimated a gigawatt of AI capacity at $70bn to build and run for five years, saying $20bn would make him much happier.

• Altman: self-replicating data centres built by AI robots are "within grasp"
• A gigawatt of AI capacity estimated at $70bn to build and run for five years
• OpenAI has made its own chip with strong intelligence per watt
• Altman expects AI models to surface many more serious vulnerabilities
