What Is AGI & Why Does It Matter?

AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is coming! But what is it? OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others are pursuing it... but why exactly?

We'll discuss its definition, historical context, and the potential impacts it has on our world. We'll cover notable milestones from Alan Turing's pioneering work in the 1950s to the deep learning advancements of the 2010s. Additionally, we'll highlight perspectives from key figures like Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, and consider both the promising and perilous aspects of AGI's development.

Maybe the first in an explainer series. MAYBE.
