Have we already achieved AGI? OpenAI just released GPT-4o. It’s impressive, and the implications are huge for so many different professions ... not least of which is education and tutoring. It’s also showing us the beginning of AI that is truly present in our lives ... AI that sees what we see, doesn’t exist just in a box with text input, hears what we hear, and hallucinates less. What does that — and other recent advancements in AI — mean for AGI? In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier discusses the implications of OpenAI's GPT-4 release and explores the current state and future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with Roman Yampolskiy, a PhD research scientist and associate professor. They delve into the rapid advancements in AI, the concept of AGI, potential impacts on different professions, the cultural and existential risks, and the challenges of safety and alignment with AGI. The conversation also covers the societal changes needed to adapt to a future where mental and physical labor could be fully automated. 00:00 Exploring the Boundaries of AI's Capabilities 01:36 The Evolution and Impact of AI on Human Intelligence 03:39 The Rapid Advancements in AI and the Path to AGI 06:38 The Societal Implications of Advanced AI and AGI 09:27 Navigating the Future of Work and AI's Role 14:52 The Ethical Dilemmas of Developing Superintelligent AI 19:22 Looking Ahead: The Unpredictable Future of AI
