– Researchers plan to build a worldwide network of extremely powerful supercomputers to accelerate the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
– The first supercomputer in the network will come online in September 2024 and the project is expected to be completed by late 2024 or early 2025.
– The new modular supercomputer will feature advanced hardware from companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Tenstorrent to provide immense computing power for training complex AI models.
– The goal is for the supercomputing network to host and train advanced AI architectures like deep neural networks, large language models, and multimodal systems that are needed for AGI.
– The network will be managed using OpenCog Hyperion software and users will gain access through tokenized access similar to tokens used in video games, allowing open data sharing.
– Companies involved like SingularityNET hope this network will help progress research towards human-level AGI and eventually artificial superintelligence.
– Some experts estimate AGI that matches or surpasses human intelligence could be developed by 2027-2028 if powerful computing resources like this network are utilized for training advanced AI systems.
