AI Pioneer Predicts Human-Level AI by 2030, Technological Singularity by Mid-Century
- Ben Goertzel, founder of SingularityNET, believes super-intelligent AI could arrive by 2029 due to exponential growth in compute power
- He thinks individual computers could have human-level intelligence by 2029-2030 and all of human intelligence 15 years after that
- Large language models like ChatGPT are advancing AI capabilities but may just be a component of future AI, not the path itself
- Once AI can intelligently write its own code and improve itself, an "intelligence explosion" could occur leading to the technological singularity
- Goertzel believes once human-level AI is achieved, super-intelligent AI could follow within years unless AI intentionally throttles its own development
