However, the report also highlighted skepticism around AGI development, with some critics dismissing it as a "sci-fi marketing ploy". The challenge for AGI is its requirement to perform tasks across many domains and solve new problems beyond its training set, a capability far beyond even the most advanced AI models today. Huang's comments came as Nvidia's market value reached and surpassed $2 trillion.
Key takeaways:
- Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) that thinks like humans could arrive within five years.
- Huang believes that if AGI means the ability to pass human tests, it could come soon and in five years, the technology should be able to pass any test put in front of it.
- However, he also noted that by other metrics, AGI could be much further off, as scientists can’t agree on how to describe how the human mind functions.
- Huang's comments came after Nvidia's market value reached $2 trillion and on the same day it surpassed that mark.
