Last Week on AI

Every week, my team at Invector Labs publishes a newsletter to track the most recent developments in AI research and technology. You can find this week’s issue below. You can sign up for it below. Please do so, our guys worked really hard on this:

From the Editor: Before AGI We Will Have Narrow AGI

Artificial general intelligence(AGI) has been the ultimate dream of AI researchers since the early days of the space. AI systems that can surpass human intelligence across different tasks has proven to be elusive to the current generation of AI technologies but we are one to two breakthroughs enough from making it a reality. However, I’ve recently been thinking that the first generation of AGI systems might not be as generally intelligence as we dream.

AI systems today have proven to be efficient at mastering very narrow tasks on specific domains. From a technology evolution standpoint, it is conceivably that those systems would achieve general intelligence within their specific domain before expanding to other domains. AI agents that are building knowledge of medical pathologies have a better chance to master all medical knowledge before becoming experts in video games. From that perspective, we are not going to go from narrow AI to AGI but rather to narrow AGI.
