This is the best summary I could come up with:
Interview While the likes of OpenAI and Google DeepMind chase after some fabled artificial general intelligence, not everyone thinks that's the best use of our time and energy in developing AI.
Computer scientist Binny Gill – CEO and co-founder of business automation firm Kognitos, and formerly chief architect and cloud CTO at Nutanix – thinks the push for AGI is the entirely wrong approach in what could be the next industrial revolution.
Rather than trying to replicate humans with some kind of general-purpose artificial intelligence, Gill thinks we should look to the past to see what sort of systems we should be building.
Gill instead hopes we'll see the rise of what he calls artificial narrow intelligence, or ANI.
This isn't a new concept; it's the sort of application-specific machine learning that already exists behind things like self-driving cars.
To learn more about Gill's optimistic vision for the future of AI, watch our full video interview with him by clicking on play above.
