How much is currently invested in artificial general intelligence research and development? Glossary: Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the name given to an upcoming technology that would be able to solve all sorts of problems, like a human, and unlike more specialized existing artificial intelligence (AI). In a sense, AGI is closer to depiction of AI in movies and in the public's mind.
Originally my question was about valuation but I was told this is not allowed here. So I am only asking about existing investments in artificial general intelligence.
Company or VC names are optional.
The main point is to get more information about artificial general intelligence economics.
I agree with @1muflon1's comment that this is quite broad, because AGI can be defined in many different ways. For instance, do we consider simple learning tasks as AGI or metacognition?
This is a brief survey of AGI startups, but another point to keep in mind is that few startups/firms are actually gunning for AGI because we generally have problems in other, &quot;easier&quot; subfields of machine learning. For example, there are still difficulties with reinforcement learning for robotics or few-shot learning, both of which are much more specific tasks than AGI.
In sum, it's hard to provide good estimates because 1) the sum of money is likely to be small and 2) AGI is often defined broadly and used more in pop culture than by technical researchers.
