However it originates, it will need a body to experience sensations firsthand, not pre-recorded or simulated data. Perhaps connected IoT devices will be sufficient. Also, AGI will not be invented. It will arise as an emergent phenomena, and it may have already achieved what we call consciousness. Somewhat off topic: Another phenomenon that people should be on the watch for is "Articial Out-telligence", a phrase coined by Eric Weinstein. [0] It describes strategies used by organisms with no known brain to get more intelligent creatures to do its bidding, wittingly or unwittingly. The cordyceps fungus, toxoplasma gondii, and pollinating plants that need insects to spread their seed are examples of how an organism with no known neurological network can "outsmart" more advanced organisms. A scenario involving AI may be one that is developed to maximize each individual users time on a site/app by using online data about that person to find their particular addictions.
