Don't believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable
Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable. However, researchers at Radboud University and other institutes show new proof that those claims are overblown.
Olivia Guest, co-author and assistant professor in Computational Cognitive Science at Radboud University: ‘For the sake of the thought experiment, we assume that engineers would have access to everything they might conceivably need, from perfect datasets to the most efficient machine learning methods possible. That’s because cognition, or the ability to observe, learn and gain new insight, is incredibly hard to replicate through AI on the scale that it occurs in the human brain. ‘There will never be enough computing power to create AGI using machine learning that can do the same, because we’d run out of natural resources long before we'd even get close,’ Olivia Guest adds.
