Scaling AI Systems to AGI: Uncertainties and Empirical Research
By
–
It is unclear whether today's AI systems can be scaled to AGI/ASI, but in most cases, it seems unscientific to make strong claims to the contrary. The practical and theoretical limitations of today's most successful approaches are unknown and subject to empirical research.
