OpenAI President Greg Brockman has outlined a bold vision for the future of artificial intelligence, suggesting that as many as 10 billion GPUs could be required to support the rise of agentic AI—intelligent systems that work continuously on behalf of individuals.
In a recent CNBC interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Brockman described a future where personal AI agents handle tasks around the clock, even while their users sleep. He argued that realizing this future could mean equipping every individual with their own dedicated GPU.
The conversation emphasized the expanding partnership between OpenAI and Nvidia, which Altman likened to the Apollo program in terms of scale and societal impact. Altman described this evolution as the creation of a global “superbrain,” seamlessly integrated into daily life.
Still, Brockman’s forecast has drawn skepticism. Critics question whether the world truly needs billions of GPUs, citing concerns about ongoing chip shortages, energy use, and the rapid embedding of AI into consumer technologies.
While OpenAI and Nvidia continue to drive innovation and bolster market confidence, the practical challenges of achieving Brockman’s vision highlight both the opportunities and uncertainties of the next era in AI.
