Quantum computing will not solve AGI. The best algorithms for vision, language, and robotics use neural networks. Neural networks don't use time reversible algorithms, The brain is not a quantum computer. And nobody is going to discover the hidden formula for AGI in their basement and accidentally unleash a singularity by building an AI that can build the next version faster than you can. Just because you can write software doesn't mean you don't need others to build your computers and supply them with electricity and build an economy to buy them with. Civilization builds AI, not individuals. That's the threshold you need to cross for self improvement. AGI is expensive. Google ($2.77 trillion market cap) and Amazon ($1.7 trillion) are making progress in intelligent agents with good speech recognition and language skills. Facebook ($1 trillion) has face recognition. Tesla ($722 billion) is making self driving cars. These aren't AGI individually because none of them can do everything a human could do. But collectively, they exceed humans. The world is making progress on the $80 trillion per year cost of human labor by solving one problem at a time, building a network of specialists and experts on finding the right ones. People eventually figure this out and switch from AGI to narrow AI in order to make progress. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Te92a6e833f53a844-M5631acb03722e701c91bb247 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
