When asked about AGI—an AI system with human-like intelligent capabilities in all domains—Rodriques takes a pragmatic stance. He notes that existing language models exhibit some attributes associated with intelligence but operate fundamentally differently from human cognition. While speculation about AI surpassing humans in all tasks (superintelligence) persists, Rodriques argues that the specific pursuit of AGI may be less relevant than developing practical tools that achieve tangible scientific progress.
