Will We See AGI in 2025?
AGI - Artificial General Intelligence ... is it coming soon?
First … we need to agree on what AGI is …
Understanding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Definitions, Predictions, and Debates
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to AI systems capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can, exhibiting flexibility and adaptability across various domains. Unlike narrow AI, which excels in specific tasks, AGI aims for a broader, human-like proficiency.
Defining AGI: A Complex Challenge
The concept of AGI lacks a universally accepted definition, leading to varied interpretations among experts. Some view AGI as systems surpassing human performance in most economically valuable work, while others emphasize attributes like autonomy and generalization abilities. This ambiguity complicates discussions and assessments of progress toward AGI.
Predictions on AGI's Arrival
Industry leaders have made bold predictions regarding the timeline for achieving AGI. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, anticipates reaching AGI by 2025, expressing confidence in the current trajectory of AI development. In contrast, Anthropic, another AI research company, forecasts achieving AGI between 2026 and 2027. These varying timelines reflect differing perspectives on the pace of advancements and the milestones defining AGI.
Debates Surrounding AGI
The discourse on AGI encompasses several critical debates:
Definition Discrepancies: The lack of a clear, standardized definition of AGI leads to varied interpretations, affecting predictions and perceived progress.
Safety and Ethics: Concerns about the potential risks of AGI, including misuse and societal disruption, prompt discussions on the need for regulatory oversight and ethical guidelines.
Research Approaches: Companies like OpenAI and Google DeepMind pursue different strategies toward AGI, reflecting diverse philosophies on AI development and deployment.
Final thoughts …
AGI represents a significant milestone in AI research, promising systems with human-like cognitive abilities. However, the path to achieving AGI is fraught with definitional ambiguities, varied predictions, and ethical considerations. As the field progresses, ongoing dialogue among researchers, ethicists, and policymakers is crucial to navigate the challenges and harness the potential benefits of AGI responsibly.
Virtual AI photoshoots … Am I CRAZY!?!
5:37 AM. Friday, December 13
Just got an email from one of my students that stopped me in my tracks:
'Love creating these AI images... but how do I make this actually PAY for something other than more courses?'
I squint at my phone screen in the dark
That question. THAT QUESTION.
Because here's what most people don't realize about AI image generation:
While everyone's arguing about whether AI will replace photographers... (spoiler alert it won’t replace those who embrace AI) there's this crazy NEW opportunity sitting right in front of us:
Virtual AI photoshoots.
Think about it:
No physical studio needed
Zero expensive camera gear
No geographic limitations
Just you, your laptop, an internet connection and the right AI knowledge
After months of trial and error (and a lot of error) we have created a system to do this reliably and repeatedly (after way too many late nights and coffee-fueled experiments).
Is it saturated? Nope.
Is it complicated? Can be.
Is it possible to learn? Absolutely.
Look, I'm not saying this is for everyone. It's not.
But for the right person - someone who loves both creativity AND tech - this could be an absolutely amazing opportunity.
The best part?
You can start this from literally anywhere. (I'm literally writing this from my bed while my family's still asleep)
Next week, I'm laying it ALL out during my imageIMPACT™ training:
- The workflow we developed
- The AI tools we use
- Common pitfalls to avoid
Not because we've "made it" (we're just starting to offer this as a service ourselves), but because I genuinely believe this opportunity is big enough for all of us.
Interested in learning how to start a new AI photoshoot and AI image business?
Want to learn how to add this service to your existing business (and his could be amazing for professional photographers and digital agencies)?
P.S. Who else is up at crazy hours thinking about AI possibilities? Or is that just me?
P.P.S. This image isn’t me … it’s one of many generated by AI with our imageIMPACT™ methodology.
Need a personal assistant? We do too, that’s why we use AI.
