Zuckerberg planerar miljardsatsning på AI

Metas vd Mark Zuckerberg har avslöjat att företaget planerar att köpa runt 350 000 avancerade grafikprocessorer från Nvidia, med målet att nå nya framsteg inom artificiell intellligens. Det rapporterar The Verge, som skriver att Metas ambition är att utveckla så kallad artificiell generell intelligens, det vill säga AI på en nivå som matchar mänsklig intelligens (ibland även definierat som autonoma system med högre kapacitet än människor på vissa områden).

Satsningen kommer att kosta flera miljarder dollar, med tanke på vad Nvidias mest avancerade grafikprocessorer kostar, skriver CNBC.

 
Artificial general intelligence
Wikipedia (en)
An artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical type of intelligent agent. If realized, an AGI could learn to accomplish any intellectual task that human beings or animals can perform. Alternatively, AGI has been defined as an autonomous system that surpasses human capabilities in the majority of economically valuable tasks. Creating AGI is a primary goal of some artificial intelligence research and of companies such as OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic. AGI is a common topic in science fiction and futures studies. The timeline for AGI development remains a subject of ongoing debate among researchers and experts. Some argue that it may be possible in years or decades; others maintain it might take a century or longer; and a minority believe it may never be achieved. There is debate on the exact definition of AGI, and regarding whether modern large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are early yet incomplete forms of AGI.Contention exists over the potential for AGI to pose a threat to humanity; for example, OpenAI treats it as an existential risk, while others find the development of AGI to be too remote to present a risk.A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI R&D projects spread across 37 countries.
