Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has recently made a claim saying that they have achieved AGI, which is essentially Artificial General Intelligence. Of course, no one online is buying into it, but there are a few takers of this idea.
NVIDIA has not had a good reputation among a lot of consumers in recent years, especially gamers, due to its leaning more and more towards implementing AI technology in GPU hardware. This was more prevalent when the company revealed its newest DLSS technology.
The controversial claims come from the recent episode of Lex Fridman podcast, which is available for viewers on YouTube. According to Fridman’s definition, AGI is essentially an AI system that is able to think like a human and do their job.
Jensen Huang believes Open Claw has gotten close to AGI
Jensen Huang was asked by the podcast host the exact timeline for when we could expect AGIs to become a thing as the next sort of evolution to regular AIs. To which he replied using the exact words, “I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI.”
He cited OpenClaw as an example because it can provide a billion-dollar app service and operate completely locally. The OpenClaw platform was designed to provide users with digital AI assistants that can be present natively on their local system.
Nvidia has also revealed its own version of OpenClaw, which was named NemoClaw, and was created with the help of Peter Steinberger. Jensen Huang also added to the conversation, boasting that no AI agent can ever create a company like Nvidia.
The internet is not buying into his comments yet
So it does not really make a ton of sense to claim that AGI has been fully achieved at this point in time. Users on social media platforms such as Twitter/X have found themselves in the middle of a similar kind of confusion.
Other users are calling out Jensen Huang, saying that it’s all just a marketing ploy to sell more Nvidia stocks.
For now, AGI is pretty much a buzzword in the industry to procure more investments. Consumers are yet to buy into it until an actual, feasible example shows up. But until then, everyone will be making fun of such technology with more Skynet jokes.
