Austin, Texas: Elon Musk, the world's fourth richest man and founder of companies like Tesla SpaceX, has predicted that in the next two years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will become equal to or even more intelligent than human driving by next year or 2026. Social media website In an interview given to. It is worth mentioning here that Musk was a pioneer in investing in OpenAI, the most widely used system in AI. He is currently building his own AI system, Grow.
The biggest problem for the new form of AI known as Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, is the availability of power. Elon Musk predicted the timeline of AGI, saying that 'AGI with drivers more capable than humans will be available in the next year or two.'
OpenAI was founded to benefit mankind and not to make profits, but now with allegations that it is doing such activities, Musk announced to break ties with it and create his own AI engine . It is being prepared under a new system called XAI created by Gorky Musk.
About 20,000 GPUs have been purchased for Musk's Grok2 from Nvidia, a maker of chips and processing for AI, while Musk said the Grok3 engine will require about 100,000 such GPUs. However, he said that apart from the shortage of chips and processors, power supply is also important for building AI.
Earlier, in March, Elon Musk, while sharing a video clip of American Joe Rogan's podcast, had claimed that by 2029, AI will become as smart or smarter than every human in the world. American technology expert Raymond Kurzweil also made a similar prediction in this video conversation with Rogan, which was approved by Musk.
Current AI is smarter than humans: Geoffrey Hinton
Geoffrey Hinton, a former Google executive and considered the godfather of AI in the world, has previously said that AI is becoming smarter than humans by now. “It took a while for the machine to learn, but it is actually learning fast. Hinton says, 'Machines today have so much information and knowledge that a normal human being is not even aware of.' Geoffrey Hinton left Google in May 2023 over the idea that AI was posing a threat to the human race. Hinton says there are about 86 billion neurons in our brain and they are interconnected by 100 million connections. AI engines like ChatGPT have 500 billion to 100 million connections, but because they are connected to each other through technology, they can store and use information better.
AI as equipped as humans in some tasks: MIT
A research paper was presented in America regarding AI becoming smarter than humans. According to Eliza Kosoy, a researcher at the Center for Brain, Mind and Machines at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the paper, machines are already surpassing humans in some tasks. Kosoy explains that machines are becoming as smart as humans in things like chess, video games, flying airplanes, performing surgery, and it is possible that AI smartness is not in the future, but is with us right now. This research paper states that earlier it was estimated that it would take 45 years for AI to achieve 50 percent human-level intelligence. But, this process is becoming faster.
