About this event

This talk delves into the forefront of generative AI, focusing on the evolution of AI agents and the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). We will explore how AI agents—autonomous systems capable of learning, decision-making, and performing complex tasks—are revolutionizing industries like healthcare, transportation, and virtual assistance.

The discussion will extend to AGI, examining the challenges of creating AI with human-like cognitive abilities, capable of generalizing knowledge across domains. Key topics will include the technologies driving these advancements, ethical considerations surrounding AI autonomy, and the societal implications of AGI. We’ll also speculate on the convergence of AI agents and AGI, and how these developments could shape the next decade. This talk aims to inspire critical thinking about the transformative potential and responsibilities of advancing towards AGI.
