New high-profile prediction from Ilon Musk: by the end of 2026 there will be "human-like AI"
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is considered the next stage in the development of artificial intelligence: unlike specialized models, such systems will be able to perform a wide range of tasks, learn independently and transfer knowledge between different domains.
Experts note that the emergence of AGI may become one of the biggest technological events of the XXI century. Among the possible consequences are large-scale automation of the economy, transformation of the labor market and strengthening of global competition between states in the field of artificial intelligence, notes officechai.com.
Human-level artificial intelligence – threat or opportunity?
According to Musk, the development of computing power and rapid progress in the field of neural networks allow us to expect the emergence of AGI – a system capable of performing intellectual tasks at the human level.
“Artificial intelligence could surpass human intelligence as early as 2026,” the entrepreneur said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
One of the factors accelerating the development of technology, Musk called a sharp increase in computing resources. In particular, tens of thousands of graphics processors are already used in training modern AI models. For example, one version of the Grok model was trained using about 20,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, and future generations may require up to 100,000 such chips.
The entrepreneur also links the development of AGI to robotics. In his opinion, the combination of AI and humanoid robots, such as Tesla’s Optimus project, will allow systems to get real-world data faster and improve their algorithms.
According to analysts, if such a scenario is realized, the development of AI may lead to a sharp acceleration of scientific discoveries and technological innovations, but at the same time will intensify the debate on the regulation and safety of artificial intelligence, states officechai.com.
