The Future of Artificial General Intelligence “AGI” with Peter Voss

Hey, I'd like to welcome you to another episode of Mission Matters. My name is Adam Torres. And today I am coming to you from Brentwood, California, and I'm at Studio Place LA, and I am excited because Peter Voss is coming to town and we're going to have a whole lot of fun. First off, Peter, I want to say welcome. Thank you for coming into town. Yes, it's good to be here. So we've been trying to get this together, kind of working on this through Srini and some of your team for now, what, a solid, I feel like it's been a year, year and a half or so. Yeah, it's been a few years. Yeah, so we got a whole lot to talk about today. I want some updates on what's going on with Aigo. ai. We're gonna talk about, which I'm really excited about, AGI, which I know you're known for. For coining, which is artificial general intelligence. And we're going to talk about where you're at with that and a whole lot of other things. Plus, I mean, I've been looking at what you've been doing and I feel like I go, you got a big vision, a whole lot to accomplish. And I know there's going to be a lot of people involved, so we'll get into that as well. But to get us kicked off, we'll start this episode, the way that we start them all and all our audience at home knows that's with our mission matters minute. So Peter, as you're aware at Mission Matters, our aim and our goal is to amplify stories for entrepreneurs, executives, and experts. We want to get their message out to the masses. So that's what we do. Peter, what mission matters to you? Well, that's very obvious. It's AGI, Artificial General Intelligence. And that is to bring intelligence, artificial intelligence to the masses that will, Improve people's flourishing and create radical abundance. And that's really the mission that I'm on and have been for some time. That's, that's exciting. And we're going to get way more into this. And one of the things is we've heard about AI. We've heard all these things in the news, let's say for the last couple of years where it's mainstream I go and I go has been, you've been working on these fields over 15 years on these types of I'll say not problems, I'm going to say opportunities for humanity and we'll go into this But first, I'm just curious because I followed your career. I followed your journey since I, since I goes come on my radar. And I just want to know, like, when did you consider or think like that science and becoming a chief scientist or otherwise, when did you feel like that was going to be a part of your destiny? Like, how did that come up for you? I don't really know. I can't pinpoint it specifically. I think I've always been interested in scientific, scientific things that that's been balanced out by also sort of this interpret, Entrepreneurial spirit that I inherently have. I don't only want to discover things. I also want to have them work in the real world. So they're really these these two sides of the coin that have always fascinated me now. I found. I mean, I've done over 6000 interviews. I've interviewed a lot of people, and I feel like a lot of times there's people when they're really highly educated, and I'm not. Putting anybody in a box, right? Nobody wants that. But sometimes when people are really highly educated, they don't have that other piece to where they want to go out and step out on the limb and take that chance of becoming an entrepreneur. Not nothing against them, right? Everybody has their own path. But where did you get that piece from? Like that extra to make you want to go and see your vision of reality? Actually, I didn't finish high school, so I got thrown in the deep end pretty quickly in terms of having to look after myself and, you know, Find work when I was 16 years old. So it was kind of quite natural for me to figure out how to survive in the world. And that kind of just led me to figuring out how to create things to create more things. And there's also been this curiosity to learn things to figure things out and to invent things. Yeah. And, and thinking about the concept of, I always tell people this, I'm like, for my longterm listeners, they're like, Oh, Adam, being an entrepreneur, this, that, to me, I was just trying to make some money. I didn't know that's the fancy word we use now, but it was just trying to provide value, trying to figure out a way where I was going to fit in the world. So thank you. Thank you for sharing that because that's, I think, inspiring as well to our audience that are maybe in a certain similar. I mean, we're just coming off. So when we're recording this, just for everybody at home, 2023 or assuming 2024, we're already in another year. All right, post pandemic. We're all kind of in this thing where we're trying to figure out what's next many times, and we're all growing in our own pace. So I feel like that is very useful for our audience. I'd usually like to try to work in at least one pay it forward question, and that's maybe for some of our younger entrepren
