What Does the AI Revolution Mean for Our Future?

Within five years, people will interact with more human-like AIs.

Mustafa Suleyman says that over the past decade, people connected to the generative AI Revolution have become adept at sorting, labeling and classifying images, audio and text – and using these materials to train computers.

The next phase is to produce new AI-enhanced forms of multimedia and languages. ChatGPT and other current LLMs (large language models) are quite accurate, but within the next five years the “frontier model companies” will use more computer power to train even larger models. Suleyman predicts that new capabilities will allow AI to plan actions over “multiple time horizons.”

For the first time in history, a human-made machine can make its own decisions.

Suleyman proposes a “modern Turing test” in which a machine takes $100,000 seed money and creates a new product in about three months. It would generate design blueprints, negotiate with manufacturers for cost, “drop-ship” the product and collect payment. He thinks an ACI (artificial capable intelligence) could complete the sequence autonomously, working with humans and other AIs. The model would...
