Artificial General Intelligence: Redux

Hosts Damien and Nikola, CEO and Co-founder of PolyAI, revisit one of their more popular episode topics – the north star of progressive genAI: artificial general intelligence (AGI). From the exponential leaps in generative AI to the ongoing efforts in multimodality and cognitive task performance, they discuss the current state of AGI, public perception, and a potential timeline to the singularity. Highlights include insights into technical progress, consumer adoption, regulation challenges, and the economic impact of AI advancements.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) aims to develop systems that can think and perform tasks at human-level intelligence or better. The exact definition may vary, but the focus is on creating AI that can handle a wide range of tasks like humans do.

For AGI to progress, AI needs to handle different types of inputs (like text, images, and sound). Multimodal models are crucial because they bring AI closer to understanding and interacting with the world more like humans.

More people are starting to use AI in everyday life, though it's not yet fully mainstream. While there’s growing interest, AI still has some way to go before it becomes intuitive and widely adopted by everyone.
