“Where are we going?” was the question and the title of the presentation led by Zack Kass at the XVIII International Congress of Expomin 2025, an instance in which the former director of OpenAI – the company responsible for the development of ChatGPT – delivered a profound reflection on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world today and in the future. “The artificial intelligence revolution is already here,” he said. And he is not just referring to technical breakthroughs, but to its irruption into everyday life. From virtual assistants to systems that learn and create, AI is no longer a promise but an active presence in multiple dimensions of society. One of the most interesting points of his presentation was his reflection on the limits of intelligence and human identity. “We are building machines that possess a human intellectual equivalence” and ‘we are trying to generate machines that are smarter than us,’ he said, opening the way to questions as challenging as they are unavoidable: What makes us human in a world where intelligence is no longer exclusive to our species? How do we define ourselves when we can no longer differentiate how intelligent we are? Kass warned that we are entering an era where “intelligence will be something you pay for,” raising new ethical, social and economic dilemmas. “In a world where we cannot measure intelligence, what distinguishes one human from another?” he asked the large audience present in the Plenary Hall of Espacio Riesco. But, far from falling into a deterministic or fatalistic discourse, the expert stressed that the power of decision remains in human hands: “It is not a machine that will determine our future, but what we want the machine to do”. Finally, he addressed a paradox that runs through the current debate on AI: “We have tolerance for human failure but no tolerance for machine failure,” calling for consistency and a deep understanding of the role we want technology to play. Zack Kass’ presentation at Expomin 2025 was not only a master class on artificial intelligence and its development, but also an invitation to think more humanely and responsibly about our shared future with technological breakthroughs.
