The "Godfather of AI," computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, predicts that general artificial intelligence (AGI) will emerge within the next 20 years

Geoffrey Hinton, a renowned computer scientist known as the "Godfather of AI," stated in an interview with CBS on March 26th that the development of general artificial intelligence (AGI) is progressing faster than people imagine. AGI refers to AI systems capable of performing human-like cognitive tasks and activities. Hinton initially believed it would take 20 to 50 years to achieve AGI, but now he suggests it may happen in less than 20 years. However, it's important to note that AGI development and its timeline are still subjects of ongoing research and exploration in the field of computer science.
