Artificial general intelligence is a technology that deals with its general intelligence combined with reinforcement learning.
The technology is so advanced that it will reproduce the human cognitive capabilities. Its artificial neural networks will not only equalize human behavior but will also compete with intelligence. This technology will ask questions to itself and formulate a solution, and will outline hypothetical strategies before making any decision. It will perform every task that has been on the human mind about AI. By utilizing learning patterns, big data, and reinforcement learning, it will attain the capability to adapt itself in different situations and environments.
Research labs like OpenAI have been already working to create AI more varied so that technology can contribute to human advancement.
Pros of Artificial General Intelligence
The traditional artificial intelligence models function by simply learning the task, and they don’t understand the context of the task, and also it needs constant human supervision. Therefore, AGI is identified to be a suitable solution to perform tasks without human supervision.
AGI’s strong computational processing power, flexible thinking, and reasoning, if this technology comes into existence, it is expected to eliminate issues such as disease, hunger, general and political confusions. With its automation power, it would destroy the need for human or manual labor and in extension the value of money.
As the world is in urgent need of medical innovations, especially at a time when COVID 19 vaccine is in urgent need, AGI will help to find the cure for diseases like cancer and AIDS. And once this technology is launched, its capabilities will be beyond human perception, which will benefit humans to a certain extent.
Cons of Artificial General Intelligence
While researchers are looking at the benefits of AGI, we must say that the biggest disadvantage for humanity will be AGI itself. As uniqueness forms the basis of AGI, the consequences of AGI become unpredictable. There are possibilities that it can develop an opposed attitude against the human race, thus terminating anything that comes in its path. Moreover, if handled by defamed groups, AGI can turn into a weapon of mass destruction.
Apart from this, humans will question their existence constantly with the development of AGI. Since the intelligence power of AGI is expected to be either more or equivalent to that of humans, the chances of humans getting mental stress increases. Since there are no ethical rules followed for the utilization of any technology, AGI with its high computational capabilities cannot be undermined.
We need a solution that helps to overcome the risk of humans entering into this situation, where they have to worry about their existence. The new AI model has new inventions like Brain Simulator II which enable experimentation of different AI algorithms to develop an end-to-end AGI system with features for vision, hearing, robotic control, learning, internal modeling, imagination, forethought, and event planning.
