"Doom Developer John Carmack Teams Up with Rich Sutton to Achieve Artificial General Intelligence by 2030"
John Carmack, the legendary software developer behind Doom, believes that an artificial general intelligence (AGI) could be publicly demonstrated by 2030. Carmack made this statement at an event announcing that his AGI startup, Keen, has hired Richard Sutton, a renowned expert in reinforcement learning. While Keen's team is small and has limited funding compared to larger AI companies, Carmack and Sutton are confident that they can make significant contributions towards AGI development. Carmack also emphasized the need for addressing fundamental research questions and understanding how AGIs can digest experiences and predict future outcomes. He expects that within the next six to eight years, significant progress will be made in the field of AGI.
