Artificial intelligence has seen tremendous growth over the past few years and has become highly scalable technology which can work on a large number of devices and adjust their functions and capabilities based on the hardware limitations of each.

For example, we can move an advanced generative model of artificial intelligence billions of parameters on a high-end desktop PC based on a GeForce RTX 4090, and we could also run another more modest model with fewer parameters on a computer that only has one NPU to handle the load it represents.

The most demanding and advanced models are at a higher level, but if we are talking about IQ, what would be the level at which we could compare the general AI we are currently working with? The CEO of Google DeepMind is clear under the cat. Yes, I know that generative AI can write, draw and create content, but keep in mind that in this case we are talking about general artificial intelligence.

Generative AI is different from general AI. It is much easier to train a specific model to perform specific tasks like the ones we just mentioned, but when we talk about general intelligence, things get very complicated because completing a huge number of concepts, possibilities and scenarios.

Consider that when we talk about general artificial intelligence, we include things like planning, decision-making, memory, using tools, and intelligent questions that a human can ask when solving problems or dealing with certain situations, what we know as logical thinking.

Because of this, the domestic cat has an IQ higher than any general artificial intelligence that exists today. The Executive Director acknowledged that we are very far from the level that can be reached by humans, but there are very important advances in certain areas that indicate that We could end up surpassing human intellect with AI. It will take years, yes.

Google CEO DeepMind is clear that when AI has enough potential to happen in one of humanity’s greatest advances, so much so that it puts it on a par with things as important as the discovery of fire and electricity. He believes that it will allow us to experience tremendous development as a race and as a society, and that it will accelerate the most important discoveries and achievements in fields such as scientific research, medicine, materials development, climate change and mathematics, among many others.
