Nvidia’s CEO Foresees Artificial General Intelligence Breakthrough Within Five Years
Nvidia Corp’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO, Jensen Huang, suggested at a Stanford University economic forum that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could become a reality within the next five years, depending on how its achievement is defined.
With Nvidia at the forefront of producing AI chips, crucial for developing AI systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Huang’s insights carry significant weight in the tech industry.
He proposed that measuring AGI by a computer’s ability to pass a comprehensive array of human tests could lead to reaching this milestone relatively soon, Reuters reports.
Currently, AI systems can succeed in exams like the legal bar but face challenges in more specialized fields such as gastroenterology. However, Huang is optimistic that AI could also excel in these areas within five years.
Despite this optimism, Huang acknowledged that the broader definition of AGI, which encompasses a deeper understanding and replication of human cognitive processes, remains elusive.
This complexity is partly because there is still no consensus among scientists on precisely defining the workings of the human mind, making it a more challenging target for engineers who thrive on clear objectives.
Regarding the infrastructure required to support the burgeoning AI industry, Huang responded to queries about the necessity for more chip manufacturing facilities.
