E10: Is AGI Here? The Truth About Artificial General Intelligence

In today's episode, we go into the rabbit hole of AGI (artificial general intelligence) with some practical, real answers. With OpenAI focused on a clear mission to "ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity," new AI technologies like Sora dropping regularly, and Sam Altman seeking $8T in investments, it's just a matter of time till AGI is put together.

Julia debunks a major news headline circulating fearmongering around Sam Altman, and puts some perspective on why AI isn't some alien technology "dropped on us from the skies." Jeff talks through how AGI can't occur without artificial intelligence achieving a level of near-human reasoning, and what that looks like.

We also cover Amazon's new report predicting a few key AI-powered jobs of the future: a few surprising predictions are precision farming analysts, virtual tourism producers, artisanal restoration specialists, cosmic reality engineers, and AI nurses. These roles envision the use of AI to enhance efficiency, source materials, and analyze data in various fields, from agriculture and tourism to healthcare and interstellar studies​
