Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence. The rise in computer power, along with digital data, is what makes AI important today. Although forms of AI have existed since 1956, the next phase of artificial intelligence is only recently visible[1]. A recent report by UNESCO estimates that artificial intelligence research grew 50% from 2015 to 2019. The combined research growth, along with an increase in spending, is creating a technological land rush in the field of artificial intelligence. The World Intellectual Property Organization has highlighted AI as one of the most rapidly growing areas of issued and filed patent applications. It has also been identified as one of the key frontier digital technologies along the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, the metaverse, big data, and cloud computing.
The next wave of artificial intelligence is rapidly approaching. For instance, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a strong form of AI; and AGI has recently made a breakthrough in technological advancement. AGI is a machine that can match a human’s cognitive capacity to perform any task, but with vastly improved efficiency.
The best example of what AGI could possibly resemble is OpenAI, a private company that Sam Altman and Elon Musk started. Recently, OpenAI released a large language model called ChatGPT that demonstrates the potential of AGI. ChatGPT is a chatbot that emulates forms of human intelligence. For example, ChatGPT can pass the Turing Test, a way to measure a machine’s intelligence. Additionally, ChatGPT can pass the United States Medical Licensing Exam and the Bar Exam. In summary, the advancement of AI is impacting every sector and industry. In addition to Open AI, there are several leading commercial AI research labs that are working on AGI, such as DeepMind, a British subsidiary of Alphabet, and Meta AI Research.
