Goertzel is perhaps most well-known for his work on Sophia the Robot, the first robot ever to be granted legal citizenship. Goertzel (right) has toured Sophia (left) as part of SingularityNET's push for a new online space for the exchange of AI algorithms

Important Takeaways:
- Top scientist warns AI could surpass human intelligence by 2027 – decades earlier than previously predicted
- The computer scientist and CEO who popularized the term ‘artificial general intelligence’ (AGI) believes AI is verging on an exponential ‘intelligence explosion.’
- The PhD mathematician and futurist Ben Goertzel made the prediction while closing out a summit on AGI this month: ‘It seems quite plausible we could get to human-level AGI within, let’s say, the next three to eight years.’
- ‘Once you get to human-level AGI,’ Goertzel, sometimes called ‘father of AGI,’ added, ‘within a few years you could get a radically superhuman AGI.’
- In recent years, Goertzel has been investigating a concept he calls ‘artificial super intelligence’ (ASI) — which he defines as an AI that’s so advanced that it matches all of the brain power and computing power of human civilization
- In May 2023, the futurist said AI has the potential to replace 80 percent of human jobs ‘in the next few years.’
- ‘Pretty much every job involving paperwork,’ he said at the Web Summit in Rio de Janeiro that month, ‘should be automatable.’
- Goertzel added that he did not see this as a negative, asserting that it would allow people to ‘find better things to do with their life than work for a living.’
