The CEO of Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, predicts that artificial general intelligence (AGI) that is as smart or smarter than humans will emerge in the next five to 10 years. While current AI systems are limited in their capabilities, progress is being made towards achieving AGI. Other industry leaders have varying predictions, with some suggesting that AGI could arrive sooner.
Challenges in achieving AGI include developing AI systems that can understand context from the real world and generalize planning and reasoning abilities to real-world applications. Multi-agent AI systems are seen as a technological advancement that can help in reaching AGI. Work is being done, such as DeepMind’s efforts in getting AI agents to play the game “Starcraft,” to improve AI’s societal and communicative capabilities.
There is uncertainty about when AGI and eventually artificial superintelligence (ASI) will be achieved. However, combining advances in planning algorithms with world models and developing multi-agent systems are seen as crucial steps in reaching AGI. The AI industry is actively working towards enhancing AI’s capabilities to eventually achieve AGI.
