AUGUST 27, NEWS THAT MATCHES AND EVEN TRANSCENDS HUMAN INTELLIGENCE REMAINS AN IMPORTANT TARGET FOR THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY. BUT..Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun HuangIt appears that U.S.AAGIThis milestone itself has become less important today。
HUANG IN-HOON SAID AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON WEDNESDAY, “FOR MANY MISSIONS, WE CAN SAY THAT AGI HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. AND I THINK THAT ALL THESE SO-CALLED MILESTONES... BY NOW, THEY REALLY DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE."
OpenAI CEO Sam Altmann, in an interview with Time magazine recently, said that OpenAI would achieve AGI internally by the end of this year. As defined by OpenAI, AGI means “a highly autonomous system that manifests itself in most economically valuable jobs above humans”。
WONG IN-HOON DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DEFINITION OF AGI AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE. HOWEVER, IN HIS VIEW, AI NO LONGER MERELY WAITED FOR HUMANS TO ENTER THE HINT AND THEN PERFORM THE TASK. TODAY, MORE AND MORE AI PROGRAMS KNOWN AS “SMART BODIES” HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE AUTONOMOUSLY AND TO ACHIEVE “REGRESSIVE” IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH REPEATED MISSIONS。
Huang In-hoon said, “I think that, for the time being, three things are most important for the whole industry. First, AI is completing work with production value and practical use. Second, AI is producing a profitable Token. Thirdly, if we have more calculus, we can generate more profitable Token, and thus more revenue for all services. We are now at such a stage.”
Wong In-hoon's emphasis on productivity and profitability may also be a response to recent concerns about the AI bubble. As the technology industry invests in AI data centres on an unprecedented scale, the market's concern about the bubbles in this hot tide is rising. At the same time, two major AI companies, OpenAI and Anthropic, still need to prove that they can make sustainable profits。
CRITICS HAVE ALSO ARGUED THAT LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS CAN NEVER REALLY ACHIEVE AGI BECAUSE THEY LACK LASTING MEMORY, THEY STILL HAVE DIFFICULTIES IN UNDERSTANDING LOGIC, AND THEY ARE STILL PRONE TO “FANTASIES” THAT GENERATE FALSE INFORMATION。
BUT, AT LEAST FOR INVERDA, THE AI BOOM HAS BROUGHT REAL, SUBSTANTIAL PROFITS. IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE 2026 FISCAL YEAR, THE BRITISH WEIDA RECEIVED $96.2 BILLION (NOTE: THE CURRENT EXCHANGE RATE IS APPROXIMATELY $6,481.7 MILLION), AN INCREASE OF 1061 TP3T OVER THE SAME PERIOD。
IT WAS ALSO STATED THAT THE COMPANY COULD HAVE ACHIEVED FASTER GROWTH HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR A SHORTAGE OF MEMORY SUPPLIES CAUSED BY THE AI HEAT. THE COMPANY EXPECTS THAT THE MEMORY SHORTAGE WILL CONTINUE AT LEAST UNTIL EARLY 2028 AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A BOTTLENECK TO BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT。
IN WEIDA CFO COLETTE CRIXUS SAID AT THE CONFERENCE, "WE'RE GOING THROUGH AN EXTREME MEMORY PRICING ENVIRONMENT. THE INCREASE IN MEMORY PRICES HAS EXCEEDED OUR PREVIOUS EXPECTATIONS, AND PRICES WILL RISE FURTHER NEXT YEAR.”
This is obviously not good news for the British card business. In the recent past, a round of price increases has been made in British Weedard Spectrometers, influenced by, inter alia, higher memory prices。
INDEED, HOANG IN-HOON HAS EXPRESSED SIMILAR VIEWS BEFORE. EARLIER THIS YEAR, HE SAID IN LEX FRIEDMAN'S PODCAST THAT, TO SOME EXTENT, THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY HAD ACTUALLY ACHIEVED AGI。
HE SAID, "I THINK IT'S NOW. I THINK WE'VE ACHIEVED AGI."
HUANG IN-HOON, FOR EXAMPLE, SAID THAT TODAY ' S AI PROGRAM HAS BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP AN APPLICATION AND MAKE IT QUICKLY RED AND ATTRACT BILLIONS OF USERS, ALTHOUGH SUCH APPLICATIONS MAY SOON LOSE THEIR HEAT。
HOWEVER, HE ALSO STRESSED THAT THE CAPACITY OF AI REMAINED AT A CLEAR BORDER. "BUT IF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND OF THESE SMARTS WERE TO BUILD A BRITISH WIDA, THE PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS WAS STILL ZERO." HE SAID。
