Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently criticized AI rivals for “creating God” in an interview with YouTuber Kayne Sutter, saying, “I find it very uncomfortable when people in tech talk about building the ‘one true AI.'”
Zuckerberg It seemed to be hinting Some in Silicon Valley fancy the idea of developing technology that exceeds general human intelligence. “It’s like they think they’re creating gods or something, but that’s not what we’re doing. I don’t think that’s how it’s going to play out,” Zuckerberg said.
“As a historian of computing, I take a rather cynical and sarcastic view of the extreme optimism in our field.”
Futurism report Zuckerberg argues that an AI god is inherently unrealistic because people all have different needs and interests, and to adequately serve all of those needs and interests, we would need multiple different forms of artificial intelligence.
Meta’s CEO criticized closed AI platforms in contrast to open source AI, adding that open source AI will continue to encourage people to create different AIs specialized for their needs. He cited OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini AI as examples to underscore his point. He added that Meta is doing something a bit different and is instead focused on creating multiple AI tools for different purposes. Hindustan Times.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has suggested that artificial general intelligence — a type of AI that can perform any task a human can — is already “fairly close.”
Earlier this year, Altman Said AGI “will change the world less than we think, and it will change jobs less than we think.”
But it’s still unclear how AGI will impact the world if it actually becomes a reality: Shane Legg, chief AGI scientist at Google DeepMind, says there’s about a 50% chance that AGI will arrive by 2028. But no one is more optimistic about the technology than Legg.
Grady Booch, IBM Fellow and Principal Scientist for Software Engineering, said AGI will never come to fruition.
“As a historian of computing, I have a rather cynical and sarcastic view of the extreme optimism in our field, so I tend to be somewhat contrarian when it comes to predictions like this,” Booch said.
