artificial general intelligence

“At the time, People thought we were crazy. Like, good researchers say you've totally discredited yourself by talking about AGI. Most other people were like, this is, you know, a hundred years away or more.”

“Eventually, now this will require more compute, but if we society at allocate to compute to that, you can say, like, could you go off and find a cure for cancer? And it can spend a lot of its compute cycles doing amazing scientific progress like that.”

“But I imagine that we get to a world where each of us has sort of like a, what feels like an AGI companion that we are talking to all day that is helping us be the best version of ourselves, learn, be efficient, be happier, and we'll all experience that way.”

“Obviously I think capitalism is great. But I think AGI is sort of an exception to that. In a well-run society, I think even if we rewound the US, you know, 50 plus years, this would absolutely happen by the government.”

“Remember that the stated mission statement of OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind from the very beginning, those three companies, Have been to create artificial general intelligence.”

“Mark Zuckerberg has publicly stated within the last week or so that he wants to build a Open source artificial general intelligence, which is the most dangerous thing you could possibly do.”

“So that definition of AGI to me is the bar, that's the entry level into AGI, but I do not think that's where it stops. I think you start going into what they call ASI, or artificial superintelligence, and it may be the case in certain dimensions is the scaling…”

“So I actually came up with an estimate then that it was about a 50% chance of what I call AGI now by about 20 28.”

“Our business plan from September, 2010 had our logo on the front and DeepMind, and it had one sentence, which is build the world's first artificial general intelligence.”

“And to be clear, the way I define artificial general intelligence is it's an artificial agent that can do all the kinds of cognitive tasks that people can typically do and possibly more.”
