OpenAI could potentially be the first non-public company to reach a valuation of $1 trillion, according to Kai-Fu Lee, the previous President of Google China. Lee suggests that if OpenAI continues on its current path, it could reach this significant milestone in the next two to three years.

The continuous development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) might make it seem unlikely for OpenAI, conceived by Sam Altman, to be worth a trillion dollars. However, Kai-Fu Lee, who is the head of Sinovation Ventures, a leading AI investment firm, and also the ex-president of Google China, suggests that such an achievement could be within reach.

Lee's confident forecast emerges against a backdrop of significant accomplishments by OpenAI, an organization established merely eight years ago to compete with giants like Google's DeepMind. Regardless of possible obstacles and the company's alleged status as a business operating at a loss, private equity investors and venture capitalists recently estimated its worth at more than $80 billion in its most recent funding round.

During his speech at the Fortune Innovation Forum in Hong Kong, Lee showed firm belief in OpenAI's future, praising the company's extraordinary performance and predicting its rise to a trillion-dollar valuation. He recognized that there are no immediate plans for OpenAI to become a public company, but hinted that it might be the first private company to achieve such a high value.

When asked about a timeframe, Lee speculated that OpenAI could reach this significant point in the next two to three years if it continues on its current path. Nevertheless, he warned that any mistakes or rivalry could change this course.

The basis of Lee's positive outlook is OpenAI's position as the benchmark for AI technology. Even with the development of rival models like Anthropic's Claude 3, Lee insists that OpenAI's GPT-4 maintains its dominance due to its ideal combination of efficiency and affordability. He stressed that GPT-4 continues to be unrivaled even a year post its introduction in the middle of March the preceding year.

Despite facing criticism, especially about OpenAI's decision to stop publishing its research, Lee didn't back down. This practice is still upheld by his own firm, 01.AI, and other similar companies such as Hugging Face. Even so, he showed a keen interest in investing in OpenAI due to its innovative strides in AI technology.

In the future, Lee predicts a monumental change driven by AI, exceeding the revolutionary effects of personal computers, the internet, and even electricity. He thinks that a potential ten times growth in OpenAI's worth wouldn't be unusual considering the overall path of AI's development.

The idea of OpenAI achieving a valuation of a trillion dollars might initially appear unlikely, but Lee's predictions highlight the company's potential to revolutionize the AI industry and transform the future of technology on a scale never seen before.
