In the long term, he predicts a future where every human becomes superhuman—learning multiple languages, mastering advanced sciences, and engaging in continuous self-improvement—enabled by AI-driven education, reflection, and exploration. This aligns with his view that human culture, curiosity, and a desire for mastery will endure and flourish.

The Challenge of Building Better AI

Karpathy stresses that building this future requires overcoming fundamental technical hurdles—from better algorithms and architectures to improved data and training paradigms. He emphasizes small, interpretable components—like the micrograd library illustrating backpropagation—as a metaphor for understanding and engineering intelligence.
