Artificial general intelligence (AGI) \u2014 often referred to as \u201cstrong AI,\u201d \u201cfull AI,\u201d \u201chuman-level AI\u201d or \u201cgeneral intelligent action\u201d \u2014 represents a significant future leap in the field of artificial intelligence. Unlike narrow AI, which is tailored for specific tasks, such as detecting product flaws<\/a>, summarizing the news<\/a>, or building you a website<\/a>, AGI will be able to perform a broad spectrum of cognitive tasks at or above human levels. Addressing the press this week at Nvidia\u2019s annual GTC developer conference<\/a>, CEO Jensen Huang appeared to be getting really bored of discussing the subject \u2014 not least because he finds himself misquoted a lot, he says.<\/p>\n

The frequency of the question makes sense: The concept raises existential questions about humanity\u2019s role in and control of a future where machines can outthink, outlearn and outperform humans in virtually every domain. The core of this concern lies in the unpredictability of AGI\u2019s decision-making processes and objectives, which might not align with human values or priorities (a concept explored in-depth in science fiction since at least the 1940s<\/a>). There\u2019s concern that once AGI reaches a certain level of autonomy and capability, it might become impossible to contain or control, leading to scenarios where its actions cannot be predicted or reversed.<\/p>\n

When sensationalist press asks for a timeframe, it is often baiting AI professionals into putting a timeline on the end of humanity \u2014 or at least the current status quo. Needless to say, AI CEOs aren\u2019t always eager to tackle the subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
