AI Could Independently Run Businesses by 2030": DeepMind Co-founder Mustafa Suleyman
Summary:
DeepMind co-founder and Inflection AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman predicts AI-fuelled significant business transformation before 2030, where an AI system could independently invent, manufacture, and sell a product. He further suggests focus on practical AI applications, rather than indulging in the hazy concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Known for his unique 'Turing Test', Suleyman emphasizes the criticality of the next five years and advocates for government intervention in AI. This comes amidst his previous participation in a Senate meeting discussing AI regulatory measures.
Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Inflection AI and co-founder of DeepMind, believes that significant change lies ahead for the world of commerce in the coming five years. Speaking at the recent World Economic Forum, Suleyman forecasted a future where an AI-enhanced system might be capable of creating, manufacturing, marketing, and distributing a merchandise on its own before we hit 2030. He confidently predicted: "In the next half-decade, and surely before the decade draws to a close, we would not only have accomplished this but such capabilities will be inexpensive and likely open source."
Although the capabilities described by Suleyman seem to point at artificial general intelligence (AGI), he pulled away from digging deep into the term. Rather than clear, Suleyman termed AGI as foggy. Instead, as highlighted by Business Insider, he proposed that the focus of researchers should be on the useful implementations of AI technology.
Suleyman's unique "Turing Test," used to gauge how much a system can emulate human-behavior, was whether an AI system could independently and lawfully generate a million dollars. He's also conversed in-depth about the urgency to limit AI systems before it gets out of hand. His book, 'The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma' penned in 2023, underlines that the subsequent five years are pivotal.
Moreover, Suleyman is a proponent for government regulation in the AI industry. Last year, he participated in a meeting with the U.S. Senate, along with top honchos like OpenAI's Sam Altman, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, and executives from other tech bigwigs like Google and Amazon, to discuss potential AI regulatory measures. No compulsory measures came out of the meetings, but Suleyman, along with the other tech magnates, willingly pledged against the intentional creation of harmful AI systems. This comes as senators propound a bipartisan scheme for all-encompassing AI regulation.
