Google's Jeff Dean: AI Outperforms Humans in Most Tasks

Imagine AI systems that can do a lot of different tasks better than the average person, even if they haven't done them before.

That's what Jeff Dean, a top scientist at Google, says about today's AI.

He thinks AI is already better than most people at many everyday tasks.

However, they're not perfect like experts in any field, which is different than being as good as a world expert in every task.

AI could speed up scientific progress and innovation in the next few decades, with the ability to automate searches and computations.

Dean avoids the term 'AGI' because everyone has different ideas about what it means.
