Introduction
As we approach the final quarter of 2023, it's worth pausing to consider the likely trajectory of artificial intelligence, particularly in the context of its potential convergence toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This post will attempt to make probabilistic predictions for the technological and social landscape of AI in 2024. Given the rapid advancements in multimodal capabilities, code interpretation in models like GPT-4, we stand at the brink of what might be a seismic shift in AI capabilities.
The Near Future:
Autonomous AI and Corporate Rivalry
GPT-4, released by OpenAI, serves as an important milestone. It has vision capabilities and can interpret code, two significant steps toward higher-level cognitive abilities. What's even more intriguing is... (read 577 more words →)
