Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, forecasts that artificial intelligence will surpass human cognitive abilities within two years. Speaking at Consensus Hong Kong, Goertzel emphasized that while AI currently enhances market efficiency, humans still lead in strategic thinking. However, he believes this advantage will soon diminish as AI evolves. Goertzel's prediction aligns with his vision for integrating SingularityNET's decentralized AI with blockchain technology. He views the current market downturn as a "stress test" for infrastructure supporting artificial general intelligence. The shift from speculative hype to technological utility, particularly in decentralized finance, signals a readiness for AI's broader application, according to Goertzel.
