Part 6/7:
Reflecting on his journey, Shapiro expresses gratitude for being part of a dynamic community actively shaping the future of AI. He notes that the effort to develop AGI involves thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of researchers worldwide, working towards common goals.
He describes the ongoing progress as a kind of collective movement, with a shared understanding of the pathways to achieve AGI. The rapid acceleration and convergence of ideas suggest that the moment of realizing true artificial intelligence—a system capable of human-like reasoning and adaptability—is closer than many realize.
