Most people are familiar with narrow or weak Artificial Intelligence. GPT4, Wolfram Alpha & other more well-known models are good examples of these AI that have a specific focus & purpose.
But imagine artificial intelligence with the unique ability to:
- Reason over problems it’s never seen, much less been trained for
- Infer both what needs to be solved & how to solve it
THE FIRST GENERALIZED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AGI)?
That’s what OpenAI’s new o3 model has demonstrated. Instead of being trained for a specific type of problem, o3 is able to evaluate a situation, determine the problem that needs to be solved & figure out how to solve it.
The video below is a breakthrough demonstration of generalized AI that’s never been seen before.
THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & QUANTUM COMPUTING CONNECTION
The catch? It’s currently very expensive to run – by an order of magnitude. Single executions can run thousands of dollars due to the immense compute power required to simply run the model, much less train it.
This is one of the reasons why Microsoft believes in not just the power of Artificial Intelligence for problem solving but also the power of Quantum Computing, Azure Quantum & Microsoft’s Quantum Safe program to support such workloads which can reduce compute requirements for large problems from a hyperbolic curve to a linear one.
What’s extremely resource intensive today with Classical Supercomputing can be made run-of-the-mill with Quantum Computing. Imagine the problems it’ll solve, like battery life, cancer detection, ocean cleanup, vaccine development, climate change, election tampering detection, educational equity, environmental protection, accelerating education, etc.
And it’s just around the corner. Years not decades.
