The Week in AI. Top AI News and Tutorials

Hi, AI Futurists!

Maybe one of the key questions to be answered about AI is what AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, actually is, since even the top experts have different interpretations.

Here are some key remarks from top AI voices:

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, says: While some worry that AI may take their jobs, someone who is an expert in AI will. Prompt engineering may be the top skill to learn since it is the way to communicate with superintelligence to get anything done.

Elon Musk says: Everybody will have tutors and nobody will need to work. There will be so much abundance that there may be UHI (Universal High Income) instead of UBI (Universal Basic Income).

Sam Altman, the brain behind OpenAI, envisions AGI as a tool to amplify human capabilities, making us more productive and creative. He sees a future where AGI works alongside humans, enhancing our skills and helping solve complex problems.

So, what’s the 411 on AGI? AGI can be interpreted as a thinking machine capable of performing all human tasks, and that’s just the beginning when it comes to superintelligence. 

When we finally crack AGI, it will be like moving from caveman grunts to Shakespearean prose overnight. Imagine a world where superintelligent machines solve climate change, cure diseases, and maybe even write better newsletters than this one!

Without further ado, let’s get started.
