Microsoft-backed (MSFT) AI firm OpenAI recently launched GPT-5, but CEO Sam Altman has already announced that GPT-6 is in development, and that it’s coming sooner than expected. While he didn’t give a release date, Altman made it clear that GPT-6 will be more advanced and personal. Indeed, it won’t just respond to your questions but it will learn your preferences, habits, and personality to tailor its responses to you. According to Altman, the key to this personalization is memory. The system needs to remember who you are and what you like in order to offer a more meaningful experience.

Altman also said that future versions of ChatGPT will follow a new executive order from the Trump administration that requires federal AI tools to remain politically neutral but customizable. This means users will be able to adjust the AI’s tone to match their views. At the same time, Altman admitted that GPT-5’s initial rollout received backlash after users said that it felt cold and less helpful than earlier models. In response, OpenAI quietly updated the model to make its tone warmer, which is an improvement that Altman believes has made a big difference.
Despite progress, there are still privacy concerns. In fact, Altman noted that temporary memory in ChatGPT isn’t yet encrypted, which raises risks when handling sensitive information. Nevertheless, he said that encryption is likely coming, though no date has been set. In addition, when looking further ahead, Altman is exploring brain-computer interfaces, where AI could respond to your thoughts directly. However, while his team continues to improve ChatGPT for everyday use, Altman admitted that chatbot performance may have peaked for now.
