It is now confirmed that Meta has joined the fray to make Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) a reality. Earlier, San Francisco-based AI start-up OpenAI had outlined its plans for how all of its AI projects are leading up to AGI. For the uninitiated, AGI is several steps above what we call AI today and will possess the ability to understand and apply tasks at the level of the human brain. Now, the big question is regulation, who gets to control AGI? This has been a matter of contention ever since the term AGI surfaced in the public realm.
Even as OpenAI and other tech giants are working clandestinely towards their goal of AGI, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg seems to have laid out his plans for all to see. In an Instagram reel, Zuckerberg announced that his company wants to invest billions into building an open-source version of AI.
