Singularity - 2045 (in 26 years)
That was the prediction of Google's most brilliant minds of AI. Take note that this prediction was based on the *law* of accelerating returns and not just some mere and probably biased opinion. That means the prediction is realistic enough (not optimistic nor pessimistic).
I want to stress that again. The prediction was *realistic* and *natural*, not optimistic nor pessimistic!
The realistic & "natural" scenario (from the law of accelerating returns) is that technology (ex: programming libraries & tools, research papers, etc) increases like always, and as we pile up these resources, more hints about AGI will emerge. That means *more* people can do AGI, the knowledge will not be exclusive only for the big players!
Tip: The best thing you can do now is to know programming (I'm not talking about brainlet coding) and be vigilant about the new resources/discoveries of the fields of science (not just AI).
The other scenario would be the "paradigm shifter" scenario where someone or some company discovers a new paradigm/mathematics to crack the problem of AI. That is what we don't want to happen because the moment someone solve the problem alone, he/she/it will *literally* become the ruler of this world.
