AGI is likely to benefit humankind much like previous economic revolutions.
Cortical neural networks are expected to be used in products that range from speech recognition to image processing, space exploration, healthcare, and robotics within the next five years. The development of cortical neural networks may lead to the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI), the holy grail of artificial intelligence. Humanity will benefit from the emergence of AGI in turbocharging the global economy in providing a multiplier for human ingenuity and safety. AGI is likely to benefit humankind much like previous economic revolutions. The internet and computers changed the way we do business. There will be a similar shift in how humans occupy their time in the future.
