OpenAI boss Sam Altman has been merrily blogging away about his thoughts on AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, and there's a lot of food for thought. A key takeaway, however, is his link between Moore's Law, and what he perceives to be the AI equivalent.

Point two of his "three observations" regarding the oncoming AGI future discusses the idea that "the cost to use a given level of AI falls about 10x every 12 months, and lower prices lead to much more use."

According to Altman, Artificial General Intelligence is the next step, and is already moving apace—and if his observations prove accurate, the gigantic price drops in relation to AI usage over time might be a suitable metric to define AI development in a similar way.

Now working as a hardware writer for PC Gamer, Andy spends his time jumping around the world attending product launches and trade shows, all the while reviewing every bit of PC gaming hardware he can get his hands on. You name it, if it's interesting hardware he'll write words about it, with opinions and everything.
