Current AI models like GPT-6 Astra lack independent agency and their intelligence is reactive rather than autonomous because they require human prompting

Artificial intelligence research, products, and impact across society.

Autonomous systems that use large language models to plan, reason, and take actions — including browsing the web, writing code, calling APIs, and completing multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention.

Large language models (LLMs) are advanced AI systems trained on massive text datasets to understand, generate, and reason about human language, powering applications such as chatbots, code generation, summarization, and scientific discovery.

Artificial general intelligence: AI matching or surpassing humans across cognitive tasks.

OpenAI's frontier reasoning model, released in September 2026 with a one-million-token context window and state-of-the-art results on computer use, browsing, software engineering and cybersecurity. It is the first model OpenAI rates Critical for cyber capability under its Preparedness Framework, and ships with safeguards that refuse advanced offensive security tasks.
