Mark Zuckerberg vows to build the first artificial general intelligence, in a recent Threads post
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • Over the last few years, AI has taken the world by storm with its applications in almost every industry under the sun.
  • Tech giants are in a competitive race to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI).
  • Here is what Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced.

Mark Zuckerberg’s AGI dream

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO announced plans to build its own artificial general intelligence (AGI), in a video posted on Threads.

This is an AI that matches or even surpasses human intelligence in nearly all areas.

Zuckerberg said advancing AI is necessary to create the best chatbots, creators, and business tools.

Mark’s Threads post regarding AGI

Why is Meta doing it?

Zuckerberg considers AI as crucial to future technologies.

He envisions people conversing with AI through AR glasses within the metaverse, this decade.

How is Mark Zuckerberg going about it?

To support AGI development, Meta will have about 350,000 Nvidia H100 graphics cards.

The company is also combining its two major AI research groups – FAIR and GenAI.

Earlier this year, Meta created a new group to turbocharge its AI tools development. This aims to accelerate Meta’s AI research per Zuckerberg.

Competition to build first AGI

Some renowned competitors of Meta in this AGI race are,

  • Microsoft
  • Google
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Darktrace
  • Deepmind
  • Google Brain

AI vs AGI

AI can be divided into Narrow AI and General AI (AGI)

AI today (Narrow AI) is about teaching computers to do smart things, while AGI is about making computers as smart as humans across many tasks!

We have AI now, but AGI is still just a big goal for the future.

Why should you care?

Achieving AGI requires advancements in various fields, including neuroscience, computer science, and cognitive psychology.

While the journey toward AGI holds tremendous promise for revolutionizing industries and transforming society, it also raises important ethical and existential questions.

Ensuring the responsible development and deployment of AGI is crucial to mitigate potential risks and maximize its beneficial impact on humanity.

Although these use cases are yet to become mainstream, there is no doubt that progress is being made.

Now, imagine how these areas, such as auditing, consulting, and taxation, will be affected by AGI… which can imitate human-level intellectual capabilities.

Closing…

Many experts in the industry believe it is a long way for humans to create AGI, but that is not stopping Meta from fully committing to lead AGI research.

Meta’s long-term vision is to open source its AGI system. This means that developers from outside Meta can gain access to the system.

The goal is to make it available to as many people as possible, while still being responsible, Mark explained.

However, some experts have raised concerns about potential harm from uncontrolled AI advancement by big tech firms.

Now, only time will tell.

How do you think AGI will transform the finance industry?
