AGI MOMENT
Exploring the Future of Artificial General Intelligence
Historical Timeline of AI Development
1950
The Mirror Test
Before we could build it, we had to dream it. Alan Turing asks the forbidden question: Can machines think?
1956
Summer of Dreams
A group of visionaries gather at Dartmouth, confident they can simulate every aspect of human intelligence.
A PROPOSAL FOR THE
DARTMOUTH SUMMER RESEARCH PROJECT
ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
We propose that every aspect of learning
or any other feature of intelligence
can be so precisely described that a machine
can be made to simulate it.

The Neural Spark
How do you teach a machine to learn? You let it fail. The rebirth of neural networks via Backpropagation.
Neural Network Training

The Fallen King
The silence of the chessboard is broken. Deep Blue forces humanity to accept that we are no longer the smartest tacticians.

Parsing the Riddle
Logic is easy; language is hard. IBM Watson proves machines can untangle the messy web of human culture.
JEOPARDY!
In 2011, IBM's Watson competed against champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter
Watson processed natural language questions and formulated answers using 200 million pages of content, including encyclopedias and news articles, but was not connected to the internet.
Watson defeated champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, winning $1 million in the three-day match. This victory demonstrated AI's ability to understand natural language, context, and ambiguity—a significant milestone in artificial intelligence.

AlphaGo Defeats Lee Sedol
The move no human would play. AlphaGo demonstrates that machines can possess creativity and intuition.
AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol
The moment AI showed true creativity. Move 37 (R13) was a "shoulder hit" on the 5th line—a move no human professional would play.
2017
The Universal Translator
Attention Is All You Need. The Transformer architecture lays the foundation for understanding everything.
The Self-Attention mechanism resolves that"it"refers to the"animal"because it is"tired".

The Ghost in the Shell
ChatGPT awakens. For the first time, we speak to the machine, and the machine speaks back.

The AGI Moment
A silent singularity. When the creation looks back at the creator, what will it see?
"When intelligence transcends its creators, will we find ourselves in the mirror of our creation?"
