This year, Tom Cruise’s latest Mission Impossible film was released, “Dead Reckoning Part 1” if you remember, the main antagonist in this film was not a human but an Artificial Intelligence software. In this film, this AI software was named Entity. Entity was so powerful that it was omnipresent. It could manipulate humans however it wanted, and mathematically, it could predict the future through the mass surveillance.
Predicting the future didn’t mean that it could provide a 10-year or 15-year outlook, instead, in any particular situation, it could predict the future outcome for the next day or the next week. This AI excelled not just in 2-3 specific tasks; it outperformed humans in nearly all tasks it undertook.
This form of Artificial Intelligence is known as AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence. “AGI, a computer system that can do any job or any task that a human does but only better.”
The famous AI softwares present today like the Language Learning Models like ChatGPT, or generative AI tools like MidJourney, are classified into the category of Weak AI. Because these softwares are considered to be weak. They excel in specific tasks, they execute the tasks for which they were trained better than humans, but they specialise in only those tasks.
