Many experts predict that we will achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) within the next decade — or possibly much sooner. However, we as individuals, organizations, and a society are not prepared for the significant changes that human-level machine intelligence will entail.
In this presentation, we’ll take a journey on the road to AGI. We’ll begin with the problems of AGI we’re currently solving, like attention, understanding, and agency. Then, we’ll discuss the AGI problems we’ll need to solve soon, like generality, reasoning, and embodiment. Finally, we’ll go beyond AGI to discuss future problems, like recursive self-improvement, artificial consciousness, and value alignment.
Along the way, you’ll see cutting-edge research from experts in the field of AI. You’ll learn about transformers, embeddings, world models, multi-modality, and more.
By the end of this session, you will understand what AGI is and why it’s important. You’ll know where we are today, where we’re going in the next decade, and how it will impact you, your career, and our world.
