Episode notes
AGI Needs More Than Core Models
- Creating AGI requires more than just the GPT engine; it needs memory, tools, and communication systems. - These components wrap around the core model to enhance capabilities and autonomy.
Autonomy Is Increasing in Agents
- OpenAI is advancing agents that can plan and decide more autonomously without constant human input. - They prepare the world for human-directed but increasingly capable agents.
Wait Before Deploying Autonomy
- Do not deploy fully autonomous agents if your organization hasn't adopted generative AI yet. - Deployment of autonomous agents is a new discipline still under active research.
