[Thier-2024] - Is 2024 the year we get to AGI?

The link to the full paper is posted at the bottom. <br><br>Thier-2024 is a student project at Stanford University made up of 23 students from various disciplines. Their goal was to create a model that would be capable of winning a few Nobel Prizes and ranking highly on a list of the most influential scientists of the 21st century. <br><br>They aim to achieve this by making an AI system that can learn "indefinitely" over time and seamlessly integrate itself into the human world to collaborate with humans. Their goal is to make the AGI system capable of winning a few Nobel Prizes. <br><br>In essence, they want to create an AGI system that is capable of learning as indefinitely as a human does, but also seamlessly integrating itself into the human world and working with humans. The goal is to have the AGI system capable of winning a few Nobel Prizes and ranking in the top 10 list of the most influential scientists of the 21st century. The project is ambitious and has a broad scope, encompassing various technologies like language models, computer vision, reinforcement learning, and multimodal interfaces.<br><br>The team plans to complete the project by the end of 2024, but they acknowledge that they may not reach the ultimate goal of achieving human-level intelligence. Nevertheless, the project is expected to significantly enhance our current technological capabilities.<br><br>This is just a summary of the paper. <br><br>I agree that AGI is unlikely to happen by the end of 2025, but I think we will get very close by then.
