Experts Weigh in on AGI Progress and its Impact on Crypto
The post Experts Weigh in on AGI Progress and its Impact on Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance at full speed, some industry experts predict the arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI) within the next decade. This form of AI matches and even surpasses human-level intelligence. In a conversation with Ben Goertzel, CEO at SingularityNET, and David Vivancos, Scientific Advisor at Qubic, BeInCrypto learned about what needs to be refined for AGI to arrive and how it will impact the cryptocurrency market as we know it today. Transitioning from AI to AGI AI refers to the development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These include learning, comprehending information, solving complex problems, making decisions, exhibiting creative behavior, and operating autonomously. Last year witnessed breakthroughs specific to generative AI, a technology that can create original context for text, images, and video. “Current AI tech has functionality that is impressively broad and general in some ways, but it achieves this generality via ingesting a huge and general training dataset, rather than by making creative leaps of generalization,” Goertzel told BeInCrypto. As AI continues to refine itself, researchers, industry experts, and the general public wonder when technological superintelligence will arrive. Since the inception of ChatGPT, the scientific community has started to consider the concept of AGI with increasing seriousness. Unlike traditional AI, which guides itself by reading data and interpreting algorithms, AGI emphasizes the integration of logic and reasoning into its learning processes, seeking to emulate human cognitive capabilities. “To frame it correctly, reaching AGI will mean that we build a human level artificial entity that works 24/7 (x) times faster than a very smart human, if we have enough computational capabilities for that (x) to be bigger than the 8 billion people living on planet earth, then we will have reached ASI or Artificial Super Intelligence,” Vivancos said. …
