Interdisciplinary collaboration plays a crucial role in advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Colin Henderson

The current suite of AI models can generally be categorized as “narrow” in the sense they satisfy a narrow set of related functions, and are closer to advanced digital process automation. Business deployment is heavily focussed on chat functions. Witness this weeks Salesforce results. Their CTO outlined their successes in offering their vision platform to multiple industries and growing rapidly in this lucrative market. but underlying their success is their offering as automated chat and CRM customer case management, recording and processing. AI enhances productivity through human displacement. However I submit their model is hardly transformative to the business model … Continue reading Interdisciplinary collaboration plays a crucial role in advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Several key breakthroughs are suggested as necessary for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI):

Colin Henderson

Open source research suggests these are areas of LLM development which are holding back real shifts in Gen AI development. Series parts: It’s important to note that there is ongoing debate in the AI research community about which of these breakthroughs are truly necessary for AGI, and whether some might be achieved through scaling existing approaches or require fundamentally new paradigms. The timeline for achieving these breakthroughs and realizing AGI remains uncertain and controversial among experts.

Summary of overall Gen AI status

Colin Henderson

This blog is working toward progress for siginificant productivity gains in business and the economy on a scale which exceeds the Industrial Revolution. A working assumption is the requirement to achieve AGI as a first stepping stone. This series is in 5 parts on the current state of Generative AI, including minimum stepping stones necessary to acheive AGI. AGI will not be achieved through money and investment in technology along; indeed thoughtful and broader investment and collaboration beyond technology and is required. The notion of AGI is often related to development of sentient humans. Sentient is hardly a commonplace word, … Continue reading Summary of overall Gen AI status

Colin Henderson

By Katrina Manson September 19, 2024 at 3:34 PM EDT Save Listen 3:00 Palantir Technologies Inc. has won a $100 million contract that will extend access to artificial intelligence targeting tools to more US military personnel, giving them access to the company’s digital warfare platform. The platform, known as Maven Smart System, helps create a picture of the same battlefield on thousands of digital screens simultaneously. It draws on US intelligence data and uses computer-vision algorithms and AI-enabled software from other companies to help make sense of a situation and to find adversaries. The US military has used the system to help identify … Continue reading Palantir Wins $100 Million US Contract for AI Targeting Tech

Economist: The Breakthrough AI needs

Colin Henderson

Two years after Chatgpt took the world by storm, generative artificial intelligence seems to have hit a roadblock. The energy costs of building and using bigger models are spiralling, and breakthroughs are getting harder. Fortunately, researchers and entrepreneurs are racing for ways around the constraints. Their ingenuity will not just transform ai. It will determine which firms prevail, whether investors win, and which country holds sway over the technology. Large language models have a keen appetite for electricity. The energy used to train Openai’s gpt-4 model could have powered 50 American homes for a century. And as models get bigger, costs rise rapidly. By one … Continue reading Economist: The Breakthrough AI needs
