Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has emphasized that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could be as transformative as fire or electricity, necessitating careful management during its development. He stated that if developed safely, AGI could serve as a powerful tool for humanity to better understand the universe. Various experts suggest that AGI could be just 18 months away, marking a pivotal moment in human history that would accelerate advancements across numerous fields, including science, medicine, and economics. The arrival of AGI is anticipated to disrupt job markets, particularly affecting competitive coders and prompting a shift in roles toward 'AI's Assistant.' The conversation around AGI highlights a growing recognition of its potential impact, with some experts noting that the changes may not be immediately felt until AI surpasses human capabilities in specific domains.

You may not feel the AGI, but in 2 years, it'll be dethroning competitive coders while the 95% practice their new job title: 'AI's Assistant.' And it's not just coders in the crosshairs.
