Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me on the show. Definitely. It's great to be here. So every research house right now is working toward building AI that mirrors human intelligence, human-level intelligence, they call it AGI.
Where are we right now in the progression and how long is it going to take to get there? Well, look, I mean, of course, the last uh few years has been an incredible amount of progress. Um, actually, you know, maybe over the last decade plus. This is what's on everyone's lips right now and the debate is is how close are we to AGI?
