The discourse surrounding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has intensified, particularly in policy discussions, though many policymakers appear to have a limited understanding of its implications. Observers note that the definition of AGI is evolving to align with the capabilities of state-of-the-art language models, leading some to claim that AGI has already been achieved. This redefinition raises concerns about shifting goalposts in the conversation about AGI's true nature. Some experts argue that AGI should be perceived as a social phenomenon, marked by a significant change in human behavior rather than a strictly technological milestone. At the NeurIPS conference, participants expressed uncertainty about AGI's definition, with some suggesting that experiencing AGI is more important than defining it. The gap in perception between those who feel AGI has arrived and those who do not is expected to widen significantly. Recent advancements in reasoning models are seen as a unifying force for differing views on AGI, providing positive news for both proponents and skeptics of AGI's feasibility.
Seems reasoning models are finally bringing the two sides of the AI aisle together! For those who care about AGI progress they are fantastic news and for those who said AGI was impossible with current tech it's fantastic news too because they can say they were right all along 😅 https://t.co/J6juuoCVvQ
the impact gap between those who felt AGI vs not will exponentially grow https://t.co/yBQdM789XY
At NeurIPS, when I surveyed people "have you felt AGI?", a common response was what is its definition. My answer is that you don't need to define AGI, you just need to feel it (like a higher being spirit). https://t.co/qmsljvFyPl
