NVIDIA Chief Executive Jen-Hsun Huang said on Friday that, by some definitions, generalized artificial intelligence (AGI) could be available in as little as five years, Reuters reported.
Jen-Hsun Huang answered a question at an economic forum held at Stanford University about how long it would take to achieve one of Silicon Valley's longtime goals -- creating computers that can think like humans.
The answer, he argues, depends a lot on how that goal is defined. If defined as the ability to pass a human test, he says, artificial general intelligence (AGI) is coming soon.
As of now, AI can pass tests such as legal qualifying exams, but it still struggles with specialized medical tests such as gastroenterology. But Jen-Hsun Huang said it should be able to pass any of these tests within five years.
