AGI and AI: Understanding the Difference

The speaker highlights that AI is not the same as AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). While AI is an advanced form of technology, AGI is comparable to human intelligence. The distinction is important because AI alone is unlikely to destroy the world, but AGI does have the potential to do so. However, the speaker emphasizes that we have deep knowledge on how to prevent destructive outcomes and that progress in AGI development should be accompanied by efforts to ensure positive outcomes.
