OpenAI, mainly through its Q* new type of algorithms, has claimed that their
systems are getting closer to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) or Strong
AI! Allegedly, the CEO of OpenAI was sacked (for about a week) by the board due
to not being transparent about attaining “a significant breakthrough” the
technology that achieves AGI! Many scientists, philosophers, and researchers in
the domain deny the possibility of achieving Strong AI.
