Anders Sandberg on 2015

This AI Prediction was made by Anders Sandberg in 2015.

Predicted time for AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

(Hover for explanation)Types of advanced artificial intelligence: AGI (AI that can perform many tasks at a human-level), HLMI (more advanced AI that surpasses human intelligence in specific areas), and Transformative AI (AI that could significantly impact society and the world)

I think that if we can do WBE it has a good chance of happening mid-century (but there is a long tail pointed towards the further future); I would be very surprised if we could do it with a human before 2030.

Opinion about the Intelligence Explosion from Anders Sandberg:

Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

The author believes that whole brain emulation (WBE) has a good chance of happening by mid-century, but there is a possibility it may take longer. They also express doubt that WBE with a human will be achieved before 2030.

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

I am much more optimistic about smart ideas being proposed for beneficial and safe AI than I would have been a year ago.

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

The author is optimistic about the smart ideas being proposed for safe and beneficial AI. This optimism is a recent development, as the author would not have felt this way a year ago. The author believes that progress is being made in the development of safe and beneficial AI.
