According to the co-founder of Baidu, AGI has the potential to address some of humanity’s most urgent issues in the future.
Despite widespread concerns about the swift advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), Robin Li, co-founder and CEO of Baidu, suggests that the realization of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is still at least a decade away. AGI, which envisions AI systems surpassing human cognitive abilities, has prompted significant apprehension, with some highlighting its existential threat to humanity.
Shortly after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced that OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative AI model had purportedly passed the Turing test, Baidu, one of China’s prominent developers of large language models (LLMs) boasting approximately 200 million cumulative AI users, made a significant prediction.
Solving pressing societal issues is the way towards AGI
While the effectiveness of open versus closed AI development remains a subject of ongoing debate, the primary focus for developers should be on leveraging the technology to address urgent human needs, thereby paving the way towards achieving AGI.
The emergence of an AGI mirroring human intelligence may still be a decade away, but its development could address worries surrounding the current decline in population.
Elon Musk, the billionaire tech entrepreneur, stands out as a leading advocate voicing apprehensions regarding population decline. In an article shared on X platform in August 2022, Musk’s concerns were prominently featured.
According to Worldometer data, the global population’s annual growth rate declined to 0.91% in 2024, a drop from 1.28% recorded two decades earlier in 2004.
