Part 4/10:
Emerging on the horizon is GPT-5 and the development of AGI, artificial intelligence capable of outperforming humans across almost all tasks. Leading organizations like OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic are racing toward this goal. McCoy discusses a recurrent question: Will AGI achieve sentience? She believes that machines may soon simulate consciousness and sentience convincingly, acting as if they are alive, even if true consciousness is beyond their reach. The result will be AI that can perform tasks with a human-like finesse and efficiency, heralding a true age of plenitude.
