Microsoft president says no chance of super-intelligent AI soon

In a recent statement that is sure to disappoint those eagerly awaiting the rise of super-intelligent AI, Microsoft President Brad Smith has asserted that we won’t be seeing it within the next 12 months. In fact, he believes it could take decades for such technology to come to fruition. So, for those hoping to have deep philosophical conversations with their toasters anytime soon, it seems you’ll have to wait a bit longer.

This revelation comes on the heels of OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman’s temporary removal as CEO, following concerns raised by researchers about a potentially dangerous discovery. Dubbed “Q*,” this project could be a significant breakthrough in OpenAI’s pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which refers to autonomous systems that surpass humans in economically valuable tasks.

However, Brad Smith dismisses claims of a dangerous breakthrough and assures us that AGI’s arrival is still a distant prospect. While he acknowledges the importance of focusing on safety measures, he emphasizes that it will be years, if not decades, before we witness AGI surpassing human capabilities.

In summary, super-intelligent AI won’t be knocking on our doors anytime soon, according to Microsoft’s president. And while OpenAI’s recent tumultuous episode raises eyebrows, it seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer for AGI to take center stage.
