AI needs decade+ to reach human-like smarts, says pioneer
Economic Times

Medial
According to Yann LeCun, vice president and chief AI scientist at Meta, it could take AI systems more than a decade to achieve human-level intelligence. Achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) would require AI systems to be conscious of the physical world, have persistent memory, and the ability to reason. LeCun believes that regulations based on the assumption that AI is inherently dangerous are misguided. He sees India as a promising hub for building AI applications with its abundance of trained engineers. Economists don't foresee AI causing unemployment but anticipate a transformation of job roles. The key is to train the workforce to leverage new technologies effectively.

Billionaire Elon Musk predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) will surpass human intelligence by next year and will be smarter than all humans combined by 2029. The concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which refers to AI systems that can perform any task as well as or better than humans, is a topic of debate among tech leaders. While some, like Yann LeCun of Meta, believe current AI models are limited and not on a path towards AGI, others, like Sam Altman of OpenAI, see the potential benefits of AGI for humanity. Sundar Pichai of Google emphasizes the importance of the capabilities and potential impact of AI systems, regardless of whether they reach AGI status.

He urges designers to go beyond being told what to do and instead determine what needs to be done. Norman emphasizes the need for a broader education in design, incorporating technology, human behavior, and business. He also advocates for a shift towards humanity-centered design that considers the environment, cultures, and all living things. Norman suggests adopting a circular economy approach and transitioning from product-based to service-based business models. He encourages designers to lead and address the weaknesses of emerging technologies, including AI, by incorporating new principles and focusing on user research.
