Experts Disagree on AGI Timeline
Key artificial intelligence figures disagree on when artificial general intelligence (AGI) will be reached. While OpenAI’s Sam Altman believes it may appear as early as 2025, Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind forecasts AGI might occur in five to ten years. Geoffrey Hinton is among those who predict a 5 to 20-year timeframe; Meta’s Yann LeCun thinks AGI is still many years off. This discussion emphasizes the many points of view and ambiguity within the AI research community.
Alarm! Motorola Launches AI Tool for Emergency Response

Projected Expansion of AI Inference Market
With a compound annual growth rate of 19.2%, the AI inference market is expected to be $106.15 billion by 2025 and $254.98 billion by 2030. Increased data collection and the demand for real-time insights across several sectors, including healthcare, banking, and e-commerce, propel this expansion. This growth is likely to be greatly influenced by developments in artificial intelligence inference technologies and machine learning.
China Makes Progress in Embodied Artificial Intelligence
Integrating artificial intelligence into physical creatures such humanoid robots and surveillance drones, China is making notable progress in “embodied AI.” Urban communities are using these technology for activities ranging from food delivery to public safety oversight. The Chinese government sees this as a calculated action to strengthen military capacity, handle labor shortages, and increase national pride. Recent projects include financing innovation hubs and organizing activities like humanoid robot races to highlight developments in this domain.
Singapore Strengthens Cybersecurity Certifications
The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore has extended its Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust certification programs to include advice on operational technology (OT) security, artificial intelligence security, and cloud security. This action seeks to enable companies to defend themselves against typical cyberattacks connected to these developing technologies, therefore supporting Singapore’s commitment to strong cybersecurity standards.
Nvidia Talks Japan’s AI Energy Needs
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, met with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to talk about the energy needs for artificial intelligence creation. Given its capabilities in robotics and manufacturing, Huang underlined Japan’s possibilities in artificial intelligence but said more power production is absolutely necessary to meet the computing requirements of AI technology.
