Deep dives

The Trajectory of AGI Development

The current perspective on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) suggests that we are about six to ten years away from a version of AGI that can perform tasks better than humans, without being human-like in intelligence. Stephen Ibaraki emphasizes that this intelligence could manifest in various non-human forms, similar to how different species exhibit unique problem-solving capabilities. He describes the future interaction with AGI where it may function as a human-like assistant, integrated into daily life but operating through fundamentally different processes. It is important to recognize that this evolution does not equate AGI to human intelligence, but rather highlights the potential for diverse forms of cognitive abilities.
