Episode Synopsis
This week on our show, the hosts discuss whether the obsession with AGI/superintelligence is derailing practical AI progress. They examine how AI workforce takeover fears may be overblown but are still scrambling firms' hiring plans. They explore European companies urging the EU to delay AI rules and a new push for US national AI rules after a state ban failed. The hosts then review a new market report analyzing growth projections for generative AI in the fintech sector. They also look at Zuckerberg's aggressive AI spending being seen as a potential "death knell" for the AI boom, and Sam Altman criticizing Meta's aggressive AI talent-poaching. Additionally, they discuss the concerns about RFK Jr.'s plan to implement AI across HHS fearing it could undermine public health. The hosts also delve into assumptions about human intelligence limits shaping AGI/superintelligence research goals. Finally, they mention Microsoft's MAI-DxO demonstrating generative AI's potential in achieving higher diagnostic accuracy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
