The monumental potential of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

PolyAI’s Senior Communications Manager, Damien Smith, and CEO & Co-Founder, Nikola Mrkšić, delve into the topic of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its broad implications. Nikola shares his expert understanding of AGI, contrasting it with popular views of AI and shedding light on the effects and challenges it poses – from redefining deep learning to altering the landscape of anything from contact centers to entire societal structures, impact economies and form the next frontier of technology.

AI advancements are reshaping industries by automating tasks and improving efficiency. For instance, AI in customer service is transforming how companies interact with and understand their customers.

Managing AGI involves more than technical control; it requires addressing ethical issues and potential misuse, such as manipulating elections or disrupting financial systems, driven by human motivations.

There is ongoing debate over whether advanced AI should be open source or proprietary. Leading organizations may prefer closed systems for control and competitive advantage, while open source advocates argue for broader access and innovation.
