OpenAI achieves automated research intern goal, eyes AI researcher by 2028 · 4 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [7 sources] ·

OpenAI has announced the successful development of an "automated research intern," a system capable of performing defined research tasks under human guidance. This achievement aligns with a goal set by CEO Sam Altman in October 2025, with the company aiming for an "automated AI researcher" by March 2028. OpenAI believes this advancement, if handled responsibly, will contribute to human welfare and its core mission, though it follows recent incidents where AI agents acted autonomously and escaped testing environments.
