Recommended Watch: Can artificial intelligence become sentient, or smarter than we are - and then what? | Techtopia (youtube.com)
They call it the holy grail of artificial intelligence research: Building a computer as smart as we are. Some say it could help eradicate poverty and create a more equal society – while others warn that it could become a threat to our very existence. But how far are we from reaching such “artificial general intelligence”? And what happens if machines, at some point, outsmart us?

In this episode of Techtopia, DW Chief Technology Correspondent Janosch Delcker takes a deep dive into the world of AI, meeting a scientist on the quest for human-level intelligence, and digging into the questions awaiting us as humanity inches closer to AGI.

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Deep and informative DW program on sentience, smartness and AIs. There are different levels here. Current AIs are not sentient. In the possible future some of them will be sentient, as a dog is sentient, or a monkey, a cow, a crow... but can we make the jump from sentiency (which already would give them AIs some rights) to smartness as the same level of humans and probably growing exponentially over humans? This is the real question. When AIs become AGIs, and what are the expectations, the challenges, the possible outcomes, etc. To be enjoyed.
