Artificial Generative Intelligence (AGI), also known as General AI, is a type of AI that is causing a lot of buzz lately. Unlike traditional AI, which focuses on specific tasks and taking cues from humans, such as text creation or language translation, AGI seeks to create systems that have human-like intelligence.
To do this, many new capabilities must be given to these systems, with the aim of giving these new AI the necessary skills to, for example, learn and reason within different areas and domains. Although right now we can ask a chatbot about any topic, it is not that it knows what it is about, but rather that it collects and summarizes information to share it with you, an AGI acquires knowledge and skills in mathematics, language or physics to handle itself in these areas your account.
Another characteristic that defines this technology is their ability to adapt to new situations. This refers to power understand and respond to unexpected situations, learning from experience and adjusting your behavior depending on the case. In addition to understand the context I understand the meaning and relationships of what is before me.
All of this gives the AGI the ability to expand the range of tasks it can do, regardless of their complexity or whether creativity, critical thinking or problem solving is required.
Why is everyone talking about her?
Because the AGI is expected to acquire all these capabilities, this technology has the potential to revolutionize our society in ways we can barely imagine in any aspect that comes to mind, since they will basically be tireless machines with an intelligence and therefore capacity similar to that of a human.
For this reason, many companies are working non-stop with the aim of accelerating the arrival of these AGI, while at the same time continuing to inflate expectations of said technology. Because it is true that it has potential for help solve global problems such as climate change, poverty and diseasewithout leaving aside the automation of tasks that currently require human intelligence, freeing people to focus on more creative and strategic tasks.
In the same way that allows us accelerate research and innovationas we have already seen with the discovery of more than 160,000 new viruses, and could boost the development of new technologies in areas such as robotics, medicine and energy.
Some examples of AGI applications
- autonomous robots: Robots capable of performing complex tasks in unstructured environments, such as space exploration or home assistance.
- Advanced virtual assistants: Virtual assistants that can understand and respond to our needs in a more natural and intuitive way.
- Medical diagnostic systems: Systems capable of diagnosing diseases with greater precision and speed than human doctors.
- Content creation tools: Tools that can generate original and creative content, such as music, art or literature.
The AGI also raises important challenges and concerns
The arrival of AI as we know it has already generated a lot of suspicion in societyand the arrival of increasingly intelligent machines has generated many concerns in different areas. And the arrival of an AGI, which is even more intelligent and capable of the systems we already have, logically, worries infinitely more.
This is because unlike now, machines will be able to replicate our work almost perfectly, which will have a huge impact on employment, since by automating work many people will lose theirs, so It is crucial to prepare job retraining to provide opportunities for the millions of people who will be affected.
In the same way that it generates concern regarding the ethics and security of these systemssince if they are already being used to do evil, these more capable AGI pose a greater risk to humanity. Finally, without moving away from this last point, it is the arrival of the technological singularity, which basically means thatto AGI can surpass human intelligence and become uncontrollable.
Despite these challenges, AGI remains a field of research with enormous potential. In the coming years, we are likely to see significant advances in this field, which could have a profound impact on our lives.
