Useful General Intelligence — Danielle Perszyk, Amazon AGI
This talk proposes a shift in the goal of AI development from creating "thinking machines" to augmenting human intelligence. It argues that general intelligence is not solely contained within an individual machine but emerges from social interaction and co-evolution with technology. The core thesis is that by building AI agents that can reliably interact with digital environments and align with human representations, we can enhance human capabilities and create useful general intelligence.
