John Carmack, the renowned software engineer and founder of Keen Technologies, has announced a partnership with Dr. Richard Sutton, the Chief Scientific Advisor at Amii, to accelerate the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Keen Technologies, which recently received $20 million in funding, is dedicated to advancing AGI research priorities. Sutton, a leading figure in the field of reinforcement learning, aims to understand and create computational intelligence agents that can interact with and control their sensory input signals. Carmack and Sutton have set a goal to develop a prototype of genuine AI by 2030, and they are both optimistic about the future of AI.
