Kommentar: OpenAI und das Märchen von der mächtigen Superintelligenz
Beim genaueren Hinsehen wirkt es so, als wäre den Tech-Bossen einfach ihre Urteilskraft abhandengekommen. Es ist ein fast lächerlich leicht zu durchschauender Marketing-Gag.
OpenAI's latest model, Astra, has been hailed as a superintelligence by the company's CEO Greg Brockman. This artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is said to surpass humans in almost all important intellectual abilities. In Silicon Valley, the term AGI, short for Artificial General Intelligence, is frequently used. However, the announcement appears to be a clear marketing ploy.
Nvidias CEO Jensen Huang joined in the celebration, praising Brockman and inadvertently promoting his own AI chips, without which the superintelligence would not have been possible.
Two men are quoted as saying that this milestone promises great business opportunities. Yet, there is no precise definition of what AGI actually entails. Brockman describes it as a "gray, fuzzy thing," making it bold to proclaim the dawn of a new era of AGI. It is likely that the situation is much simpler: OpenAI hopes to go public at the beginning of 2027, and having a superintelligence at hand would be practically essential for this goal.
