For several months now, there’s been a lot of buzz and conjecture about the potential achievement of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by leading AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinted that this significant milestone could be reached earlier than expected, with a tentative timeline set within the next five years. Contrary to widespread assumptions, Mr. Altman suggested that the arrival of AGI would occur with minimal immediate societal impact.
As a researcher, my personal estimation aligns with the speculations made by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei regarding the achievement of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) somewhere between 2026 and 2027, considering the extrapolated progression curves of advanced AI models. However, given the recent reports indicating a potential plateau in AI progress due to scarcity of high-quality content for model training, it’s essential to approach such predictions with caution.
It appears that we may have gained some insight into the potential timeline for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), based on the comments made by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. In a recent statement, he characterized these AGI predictions circulating on Twitter as mere hype.
The buzz surrounding Twitter is intense once more. Contrary to the speculation, we won’t be releasing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) next month, as it hasn’t been built yet. While we do have some remarkable innovations in store for you, we kindly ask you to temper your expectations significantly!
Twitter excitement seems to be running high once more. However, let me clarify that we are not releasing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) next month, as some might expect. While we have some truly amazing advancements in the works, we kindly ask you to temper your expectations significantly!
Based on Dr. Altman’s typical enigmatic social media messages, it seems unlikely that we will reach the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) benchmark next month. Given this, it would be prudent to significantly reduce our expectations. Detective users swiftly reacted to the executive’s post, pointing out a message he had posted at the beginning of the year suggesting, “near the singularity; uncertain which direction.
What we know about AGI so far
During OpenAI’s 12-day holiday event called “shipmas,” the company that creates ChatGPT officially made its first version of a reasoning model, known as the o1 model, widely available to users. One of the technical staff at the company suggested that the release represented Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
According to my viewpoint, I believe we’ve reached the stage of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and it’s become increasingly evident with advancements like O1. While we haven’t surpassed human intelligence in every aspect, we have developed AI that excels at a majority of tasks beyond most humans. Some argue that Large Language Models (LLMs) are merely following instructions. However, the essence of science itself can be boiled down to a recipe: make observations, form hypotheses, and verify the results. The intricacies of a trillion-parameter deep neural network may remain unclear to many, but the scientific method, at its core, is no different from following a recipe.
Contrarily to what was once assumed, a new report suggests that AGI could carry a significantly different connotation, at least metaphorically speaking. As per Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, they will only meet the prestigious benchmark when they successfully develop an AI system capable of generating profits worth up to $100 billion.
According to Altman, the proposed benchmark is feasible using existing technology, and his team at OpenAI has the know-how to construct it, hinting at a transition towards superintelligence. Notably, AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy (renowned for predicting that AI could potentially wipe out humanity with a 99.999999% certainty) suggests that anyone can develop Artificial General Intelligence if they have sufficient funds to acquire enough computational power.
It’s well-known that sophisticated AI demands a vast quantity of resources. Sam Altman was labeled as a podcasting entrepreneur after suggesting that realizing his grand AI vision would require approximately $7 trillion and numerous years, plus the construction of 36 semiconductor plants and additional data centers.
