Tech 101: Artificial General Intelligence
AI systems can now write code, pass bar exams, and reason through complex problems. Does this mean we are on the doorstep of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? If so, should we be excited, terrified, or something else?
This talk offers a grounded perspective on AI. It starts with the capabilities and limitations of current models, then defines two terms that are commonly used but rarely with precision: AGI and Superintelligence. From there, it explores the real implications of both and examines the strongest cases for and against two key claims: that AGI is imminent, and that scaling current models is a viable path to get there.
This talk is for practitioners and leaders who want to understand the landscape clearly, think critically about where things are headed, and make better decisions about how to leverage AI today.
