Mustafa Suleyman says “seemingly conscious AI” is coming – and soon. In his latest essay, the DeepMind and Inflection co-founder warns that language models will display empathy, personality, memory, autonomy, and self-referential awareness so convincingly that many people will believe they're sentient. They won’t be. But they’ll act like it. Continue Reading →

OpenAI is planning to restructure as a public benefit corporation (PBC). By adopting this model, the ChatGPT-maker aims to secure the billions in funding required to advance its goal of artificial general intelligence (AGI). This structural evolution aligns OpenAI more closely with rivals like Anthropic and xAI, both of which have recently closed big financing rounds. Continue Reading →

Over the past few months, Tesla's Optimus robot and NVIDIA robotics platform have been raising awareness of nascent humanoid and general-purpose robot initiatives. Some people think these robots are science fiction concept projects. They are far from it. When will advanced generative AI and reasoning engines merge with hardware? Let's follow the money.

How smart is any particular AI model? How would you set benchmarks? How would you rate them? AI models can't have an IQ; that's a test for human knowledge. (Plus, raw intelligence isn't really what you want to test anyway.) There are far more capabilities you'd want to include in your scoring system, such as safety, alignment with human values (whatever they are), etc. It's a monumental challenge – and OpenAI is taking it on.

At dinner last night, the conversation turned to AGI (artificial general intelligence) – what it is, what is isn't, and everything in between. There was no agreed-upon definition, but everyone's imagination was on full display. Continue Reading →

Yann LeCun, Meta's Chief AI Scientist, has been all over social media lately. He's looking to reboot the AI research echo chamber, challenging the current approach to AI championed by OpenAI, Google, and other big players. Continue Reading →

In an interview with Alex Heath for The Verge, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlined his company's ambitious goal to develop AGI and its strategic reorganization to integrate AI research and product development. Continue Reading →
