Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks, has ignited a fresh round of debate within the tech world by claiming that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is no longer a hypothetical concept, but a present-day reality. Ghodsi’s statement, which originated in a discussion thread on Reddit (linked here: [https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1p10x1w/databricks_ceo_ali_ghodsi_says_agi_is_already/]), implies that the definition of AGI itself is becoming a moving target, as Silicon Valley firms continuously raise the bar for what’s considered ‘general’ intelligence in AI systems. This assertion is likely to fuel further discussion about the true capabilities and limitations of current AI technologies.
