when you talk to the public about agi the programme.u talk to the public about a61 and what it will be capable of, there is a mixture of excitement, curiosity, ignorance, fear. you are prepared to bet $1 million that it will not surpass human intelligence anytime soon. why are you so sure? it is human intelligence anytime soon. why are you so sure?— are you so sure? it is a long way to co. are you so sure? it is a long way to to. you are you so sure? it is a long way to go- you can _ are you so sure? it is a long way to go. you can think— are you so sure? it is a long way to go. you can think about _ are you so sure? it is a long way to go. you can think about the - are you so sure? it is a long way to go. you can think about the old - go. you can think about the old 80-20 — go. you can think about the old 80—20 rule. are 80 of the way there, you have _ 80—20 rule. are 80 of the way there, you have language models, chat bots which _ you have language models, chat bots which sound like people, but they make _ which sound like people, but

>> i don't think agi is a fully coherent concept.orking on generalized models, and everyone was working on specialized models, i used to talk about agi, because it was so different from what everyone was doing. now i think we're in a different place, where everyone is building models in a way are general. they may be worse than humans at a bunch of things, but they try to do everything. and some of them they're very good at. i don't think about agi, but i think what is real, themodels are getting better and better at more tasks that more and more humans do. >> so when elon musk comes out and says that he thinks that you know, in a year from now, that, you know, ai could be smarter than, you know, an individual, and in several years from now, could be smarter than all of the individuals collectively, you think what? >> yeah, so i mean, i think, i think, you know, another way to restate what i said before is that, you know, smarter isn't a single thing, right? right now, there's some things the models are much smarter than humans at, r

it takes a long time to figure out who will be the long-term winner in agi. we know the players. >> better performing stock over the last 12 months, alphabet or microsoft? identical. 45% each. if i asked a lot of people that question, who has performed better, i bet you the majority would say of course microsoft. not the case. >> the ownership we have is related to price and is related to momentum. that's been the strongest factor. i understand the fundamental argument you're making. i understand the a.i. inclusion, all of that, but there were questions surrounding the stock in the last six to eight weeks and there were volume i had questions. it has driven investors back to the skok stock. >>> we go to kate rooney as we approach a potential milestone. >> reporter: we have seen price target increases and calls reaffirming as one of the top picks. 13% upside from where it's trading now. no celebrations on amazon. rbc calls amazon one of the true alpha dogs thanks to scale and e-commerce combined with cloud business and jefferies says still plenty to be excited

. >> if you find agi as a human smuggling to i think it is probably the end of next year but within twoarter than all humans working together who are alsompt using computers to augment their operative. i think that is probably fivean years away. n th>> laura: that is unsettlin. comes on the heels of a new "wall street journal" report where japan's top telecom country and largest newspaper joinedat together to warn what will happen if artificial intelligence is left unchecked. and the worst-case scenario, democracy and social order could collapse resulting in wars here that is all for joining me now is john, policy director at the s project anda ple loceo conjecture, connor, a lotf people don't get what that says. except they will write essays for you. but what it is all the danger of aei that people are talking about here? >> i think one of the first most important things to understand is ai is very different from traditional software. when we talk about software lik you might use on your computer, it is written with code. you have programmers write code, instructions to tell the t anco

amazon invested in one called aj agi agility. >> kate, it's interesting, because the companies you mentionedry different reasons for building this, and amazon has seemed obvious because they're in the logistics business with all these warehouses. i thought it was coming a lot sooner than a robot in the house. amazon has one, but is it like real, are they trying to sell it? i think it's like $1,500. any indication of how those have done? >> they're called astro. it's a great point. the logistics and fulfillment centers, you can justify spending big on robotics. amazon may have an advantage is if they're able to transfer some of that knowledge over to the consumer side. i would say with amazon, it's still unproven. this is an expensive item. apple customers are used to paying that premium, both have been talking to venture investors. amazon's case is not as obvious, because they're not looking for that premium customer. people go on amazon looking for a discount. are they going to be willing to pay $1,000 for an amazon robot, whereas with apple, maybe. they've proven people will may more for a

be inevitable escalation as we see now and as you see in the footage behind you, the only conclusion agis that mr. netanyahu was eager to provoke some sort of escalation for his own political reasons. should we not have done this? i don't want to pass judgment on that because those were vile people who were struck in damascus. should it have been done? should it have been done in the context and the timing? i doubt that. >> i will pose that question to you, ambassador. what do you make of the decisioi to go after these generals in damascus at a time when israel was already facing this increased international scrutiny and pressure over its conduct in the war in gaza, and again, it's not casting a judgment on the individuals, but the timing and methodology and whether that crossed itself a threshold that brought us to this precipice. >> i've long been in at -- advocate of change in the rules of engagement by iran. as for the timing of the specific operation, i don't know. i was not in the room and i know when you are in the room, decision such as this are not made by one person. it is a col

then, when everything comes together into one, so again, sorry, huba, huba, yes. then pigeons huba agyazia, as you already understood, no matter how hard i tried, how i didn’t try i didn’t manage to learn this phrase, but i ’m very good at saying bzara umas, which means hello! and it's time to say it! bzaraumas sukhum! the mahajirov embankment is one of the two favorite places for tourists; it is very atmospheric here, with ancient mansions, modern sculptures and the aroma of coffee. immediately and automatically you want to slow down the pace, take a walk, without rushing anywhere, as we love in italy, in principle, only here in abkhazia it works not only with italians, everyone walks like that, calmly, as if they forgot what there are. -that worries, affairs, the street of lyon is no less beautiful, snow-white columns, ancient mansions, huge palm trees. and what is the market like in sukhumi and how many different delicacies are there, let me tell you correctly, ajenjukha, and which ones are in suhupuri and stretch, what a thrill, eat it, but your friend federico will tell you about

i think right now with agi, they're scraping people's content. let's sue them. copyright. that's all. you know this it's not terrific. if this is the law we have to use, we should have more stronger ones. let's start there. let's start with that. let's start to put guardrails around. we can all agree what we don't want to happen. killer robots. i think we can all agree on that. right. maybe, maybe a few people would be like, yeah, let's have those. let's have guidelines around where the provenance of this information is. let's have there's some very easy stuff we can all agree on. and here's what we would like this to be. gene editing. we'd like you to give back some. we'd like to have safety standards. i mean, the biden executive order was pretty good in that regard. yes, it was recently. but it can't be an executive order. it has to be legislation, right. there's a lot of stuff that we can figure out really quickly around that antitrust which you know about is another thing they cannot dominate everything. they can't end it because it's expensive, this stuff. so where's

taxpayers who were using the direct file solution, and there was some confusion about how to get to your agi amount, which is a key moment in your tax filing process from the previous year. absolutely willing to talk. those partners, our partners who provide those commercial software, we work closely with them. sen. tillis: i agree. mr. werfel: they are terrific. sen. tillis: if it is a tool that is going to be available to free filing, we can deal with whatever privacy, security concerns they may be. but it does not seem fair or appropriate to have that additional step. mr. werfel: we will look into it, sir. sen. tillis: i would hope that this pilot, this thing you are working on now, you just decide it is not worth it because the private-sector options are so much better it becomes a distraction. that is my personal bias. i can't believe -- i was trying to figure out a way that i could ask this question that were knocking you in hot water, but i admire your background. that is why i supported your confirmation, and so far i'm happy to what i have seen. but i just can't imagine a project of
