00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:25,800
I'm your host Sarah Chen, and joining me today is Dr. Michael Rodriguez, a leading researcher in AI safety and alignment.

00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:45,300
Thank you for having me, Sarah. It's great to be here to discuss these fascinating developments in AI.

4
00:00:45,300 --> 00:01:18,900
Let's start with the big question everyone's asking: How close are we to achieving artificial general intelligence, or AGI?

5
00:01:18,900 --> 00:02:00,400
That's a complex question, Sarah. While we've made incredible progress with models like GPT-4 and Claude, true AGI is still quite far off. What we have now are narrow AI systems that excel at specific tasks.

00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:25,700
But the capabilities are growing rapidly. These models can now reason, create, and even show glimpses of what we might call understanding.
