Deep dives
The forecast for artificial general intelligence (AGI) is becoming more optimistic
The podcast discusses how the forecast for AGI has evolved and become more optimistic in recent years. The speaker explains that there is a consensus that AGI will reach a certain threshold of capability, leading to a reevaluation of what defines 'good' technology. The speaker refers to a chart forecasting the time to AGI and notes that it has progressively decreased from 50-80 years away in 2020 to less than eight years away based on the latest data point. The speaker highlights that the unexpected rapid progress in AI systems' capabilities is catching people off guard, and if this trend continues, AGI could be available as soon as 2027-2028. However, it is acknowledged that once AGI is achieved, further advancements may lead to moving the goalposts again.
