Most AI experts say chasing AGI with more compute is a losing strategy | Is the industry pouring billions into a dead end?
A recent survey of 475 AI researchers reveals that 76% believe adding more computing power and data to current AI models is "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to...
Why it matters: Major tech players have spent the last few years betting that simply throwing more computing power at AI will lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI) – systems that match or surpass human cognition. Despite billions poured into building massive data centers and training ever-larger generative models, researchers argue that the returns on these investments are diminishing. On the flip side, tech leaders like Google CEO Sundar Pichai remain optimistic, asserting that the industry can "just keep scaling up" – even as he hinted that the era of low-hanging fruit with AI gains was over.
