Experts shoot down Elon Musk's prediction for key AI development: 'It's aspirational'

Experts at a congressional hearing Tuesday on the future of AI downplayed Elon Musk's predictions for how quickly an artificial general intelligence, or AGI, could be developed. The exchange came during a House Armed Services subcommittee hearing featuring a trio of AI experts. Each of the three said developing an AGI would take longer than Musk had predicted. "When Chairman [Mike] Gallagher had a conversation with Elon Musk, he said that AGI was five to six years away. I was surprised by that timeline. What is your sense of how long we are from AGI?" Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., asked.
