Saw this mentioned. Gato/DeepMind push us towards AGI ( Artificial General Intelligence) Does not seem to be close as yet, but is it the right direction? Still think no, not even close, but surely some experiments are under way. Key will be preloading contextual knowledge to provide what I would call intelligent insight. If and when so, we will hear of it quickly. What is a "Generalist AI"
Is Gato a true AGI? in Venturebeat.
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is back in the news thanks to the recent introduction of Gato from DeepMind. As much as anything, AGI invokes images of the Skynet (of Terminator lore) that was originally designed as threat analysis software for the military, but it quickly came to see humanity as the enemy. While fictional, this should give us pause, especially as militaries around the world are pursuing AI-based weapons.
However, Gato does not appear to raise any of these concerns. The deep learning transformer model is described as a “generalist agent” and purports to perform 604 distinct and mostly mundane tasks with varying modalities, observations and action specifications. It has been referred to as the Swiss Army Knife of AI models. It is clearly much more general than other AI systems developed thus far and in that regard appears to be a step towards AGI. .... '
