Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella recently criticized the excessive hype around artificial intelligence, particularly artificial general intelligence (AGI). He expressed skepticism towards claims of AGI milestones, labeling them as 'nonsensical benchmark hacking.' Nadella urged for a focus on real-world economic impacts rather than chasing unrealistic expectations. He suggested that true progress will be evident when AI contributes to significant economic growth, akin to the Industrial Revolution. Currently, he notes, generative AI has yet to demonstrate substantial value, and the economy has not shown the acceleration that would validate the industry's high investments.
Us self-claiming some [artificial general intelligence] milestone, that's just nonsensical benchmark hacking to me.
When we say this is like the Industrial Revolution, let's have that Industrial Revolution type of growth.
The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10 percent.
...generative AI simply hasn't generated much value so far.
