Jurgen Schmidhuber on X: “Some claim that AGI is here now. Ridiculous. No AGI without mastery of the real world!”

Jurgen Schmidhuber argues that claims of current AGI are "ridiculous," emphasizing that true AGI requires mastery of the real world. He states that existing AI excels in virtual environments, such as summarizing documents or creating images, but cannot match the physical capabilities of a plumber or a capuchin monkey. Schmidhuber asserts that the physical world is far more demanding than the virtual, making the Turing Test an inadequate measure of intelligence. He concludes that achieving True AI necessitates combining AI software research with the physical world of machines and robots.
