Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, predicts that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could be developed in the next three to five years. According to a post on X, this prediction shows how quickly AI advances and suggests that one might soon experience a major technological change.
AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, is an artificial intelligence that can do any mental task a human can. Unlike narrow AI, which works well in specific areas, AGI can understand, learn, and adapt to different activities. Hoskinson noted that recent developments in AI, such as GPT-4.5, show that AGI is getting closer.
These models are better at recognizing complex patterns, improving their reasoning skills, and tackling tasks once considered too difficult for AI. Hoskinson believes that AI has the potential to change many industries.
However, the quick progress in language models, machine learning, and neural networks makes Hoskinson and other experts think that moving from specialized AI to AGI is no longer just a dream but a foreseeable reality.
Meanwhile, AGI could greatly change many areas, such as healthcare, education, finance, and technology. Hoskinson believes that AGI will be important for the future of blockchain technologies like Cardano. It will help create more decentralized and smart systems that can make decisions and improve how networks work.
Recall that Microsoft launched several AI-powered services amidst the explosive rise of AI technology. Another outstanding example is the company’s decision to remove the queue for the GPT-4 connection with its web browsers, Bing and Microsoft Edge.
Furthermore, Microsoft signed a deal with former Ethereum miner CoreWeave, allowing the latter’s cloud computing platform to serve Microsoft’s AI-powered services. Likewise, Tether, the world’s leading stablecoin issuer, made significant strides in AI earlier this month.
Paolo Ardoino, the company’s CEO, said the firm’s AI division is actively developing several innovative applications, including AI Translate, AI Voice Assistant, and AI-powered Bitcoin Wallet Assistance. These AI-driven solutions aim to enhance user experiences by introducing smarter, autonomous tools that operate locally on any device.
AI-driven crypto agents are emerging as a growing niche within the blockchain sector. Switzerland-based Sygnum Bank highlighted in a report that while AI agents have gained remarkable traction, their practical utility remains largely unproven.
The bank’s researchers emphasized that AI infrastructure projects such as Bittensor (TAO), Phala Network, and the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) are working to tackle real-world challenges by integrating AI services into decentralized applications.
Likewise, Franklin Templeton researchers predicted that AI agents will “revolutionize” social media, while Google has proclaimed a new era for the technology.
