Founder, CEO and Chief Scientist at AGI Innovations & Aigo.ai, entrepreneur
Speaker Bio
Serial Entrepreneur, Engineer, Inventor and a Pioneer in Artificial Intelligence. Coined the term “AGI” (Artificial General Intelligence) with fellow luminaries in space.
Mr. Voss started in electronics engineering, then fell in love with software. First major success was developing a comprehensive ERP package and taking that company from Zero to 400-person IPO in seven years.
Currently he is focused on commercializing the second generation of our AGI-based “Conversational AI” technology called “Aigo”.
Aigo.ai is the most advanced natural language interaction platform available. It is implemented using a brain-like cognitive architecture — also known as “The Third Wave of AI”.
Speech
Hello, my name is Peter Voss. I am CEO and chief scientist of Aigo.AI. And I'm happy to be here at the Global Crisis Conference and I hope to be able to contribute.
Super intelligence to me absolutely will happen. I mean, I firmly believe that we will have human level intelligence in terms of problem solving and that we could have that pretty soon. And there's absolutely no reason why it should stop at human level.
When the human is no longer in the loop, then the intelligence can actually, I believe, increase quite quickly if there's enough, you know, processing power.
I actually believe that given the right approach, we could easily have human level intelligence in less than ten years. It just takes the right approach, the right architecture, understanding intelligence and building a system that really addresses the requirements of intelligence.
AI will be a dream come true as far as it is concerned. But then also importantly imagine having... training one AI as a cancer researcher, for example. And then you can take a million copies of that AI that has, you know, in-depth knowledge about cancer research. And these million AIs can now go off , pursue different ideas and different paths.
And they communicate with each other. They don't have the ego preventing them from talking to each other. They work 24/7. They don't have distractions with girlfriends and boyfriends and, you know, things. They have perfect memory. You know, the progress we will make in science, whether it's for climate change, whether it's for antiaging, whether it's for disease, whether it's for pollution, we will have millions of very smart researchers that can chip away at these problems and solve them much, much quicker, and much better than humans then we can unaided.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity. As you see, I'm very enthusiastic about these topics and very optimistic. Yeah, I see one of the things you also talk about is overpopulation. And I think a lot of the crisis points that you talk about, I believe really technology is the answer. And I see AI as being the fastest way of actually helping to deal with these potential crises. That's great. Thank you.
