4  The future of AI technology

Yumi :

　I heard people talking about/something called “AGI.” I’d love to learn more about it.

Chat :

　Sure! AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence. It’s all about creating AI systems/that can do a lot of things,/just like humans. They’re called “general”/because they can learn and understand/in many different areas,/not just one.

Yumi :

　Oh,/I see! Can we create AGI soon?

Chat :

　Developing AGI is still very difficult. Some people think/we might achieve it in a few decades,/while others are not certain/if it’s possible.

Yumi :

　By the way,/aren’t you like AGI in some ways?

Chat :

　I can’t think like humans. AGI would be far smarter/and have a greater impact on society.

Yumi :

　I see. It’s a bit scary/to think that AI might get smarter than us. Are there any dangers with AGI?

Chat :

　Yes,/if humans lose control of AGI,/it may cause problems. That’s why ethical development is crucial/for the future. It all depends on decisions/on the part of humans.

Yumi :

　I agree. Well,/thank you for answering my questions/and sharing your insights! It was fun/chatting with you.

Chat :

　I had a great time too. If you have more questions,/feel free to reach out. I’m always here for you.
