E.139 - Are We Asking the Wrong Question About AI? w/ Jenny Hamrick

About this episode

Jenny Hamrick has been working in AI since long before most people knew what to call it. In this episode, she joins Rich and Tolu to explore the questions most people aren't willing to ask about where artificial intelligence is actually taking us.The conversation covers why fear is the primary reason people avoid the AI discussion, what it means that LLMs are already operating at 67 to 78% of human capability on the benchmarks the labs use to measure them, and why the question "what value do I have as a human?" may already be the wrong question to be asking.Jenny explains why AGI is defined as the moment machine intelligence can perform 100% of the tasks humans can, what it means that the human brain is still 100 million times more energy efficient than any artificial intelligence that exists today, and why she believes AI could become the great equaliser.The episode also covers the state of humanoid robotics, why chip supply and energy are the two constraints currently limiting the pace of development, what the convergence of digital intelligence and physical form actually means, and why consciousness, not capability, may be the most important question humanity has never properly answered.🎙️ Guest: Jenny Hamrick🔗 Connect with Jenny: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-hamrick/🎙️ Hosts: Richard Washington & Tolu Adebekun🔗 Connect with Rich: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richwash/🔗 Connect with Tolu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toluadebekun/🌐 Tick Talent: https://www.tick-talent.com/👉 Subscribe so you never miss an episode — new episodes every Wednesday, Best Bits every Sunday.#AI #AGI #artificialintelligence #artificialGeneralIntelligence #futureofwork #humanoidrobots #robotics #consciousness #LLM #singularity humanvsAI #AIpodcast #whatmakesyoutick #ticktalent #richwashington #toluadebekun #jennyhamrick #anthropic #openai #elonmusk #chipshortage #energysupply #AIandjobs #wealthdistribution #quantumphysics #futureofhumanity
