Despite the rapid progress of AI, Huang admitted that it has not yet reached the level of complex human intelligence. His comments come amid concerns from other business leaders about the potential risks of AGI, including the spread of fake news, cyberattacks, and the potential for "God-like AI" to lead to the obsolescence or destruction of the human race. Other tech leaders, including ex-Meta executive John Carmack and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, also believe that AGI will be achieved in the near future.
Key takeaways:
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could be achieved within the next five years.
- Huang defines AGI as a piece of software or a computer that can complete tests which reflect basic intelligence that's 'fairly competitive' to that of a normal human.
- Despite the rapid progress of AI, Huang admits that the technology hasn't yet shown signs it can exhibit or surpass complex human intelligence.
- Other tech leaders, including ex-Meta executive John Carmack and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, also believe that AGI will be achieved in the near future.
