Marc Benioff cannot have enough of the IA media threw – unless you say “ac”

Marc Benioff, a guy who has paid money into investments in artificial intelligence and says that AI tools are doing half of the work at Salesforce, is not so sure of all media threshing around this whole sector. During an appearance on the “20VC” podcast, as spotted by Business Insider, Benioff has poured water on the concept of “artificial general intelligence”, calling the obsession around “the hypnosis” of the white whale of the industry.

During the conversation, the host of Podcast Harry Stebbings – roughly a venture capital which has a lot of money linked in the success of the AI ​​- made a recent interview that the rod conducted with the chief of the Amazon AGA laboratories, David Luan, in which Luan said that there were less than 1,000 people in the world who would be “extremely precious contributors” Pointe de l’Ai. Benioff made fun of, not only at Luan’s statement, but also in his title. “AGE HEAD, it looks like an oxymoron,” said Salesforce CEO.

Benioff explained that it was skeptical about the very idea of ​​artificial general intelligence, the theory that AI could one day develop human -type cognitive treatment skills for reasoning and learning, rather than simply spitting results according to training data. “You talk to someone who is extremely suspicious if someone uses these initials,” AG “,” said Benioff. “I think we were all sold a lot of hypnosis around what will happen with AI.”

He has not excluded the possibility of realizing acted, but said: “I realize that this is not the state of technology today”, and noted that no IA with which people interaci approaches this theoretical bar. “He is not a person, and it is not intelligent, and it is not aware,” he said.

Benioff is right to be learned on the idea of ​​AG, a concept that was only muddy by the insistence continues by AI companies so that it is at the corner of the street. Sam Altman, head of Openai, recently conceded that the latest model of his business, GPT-5, is not acted because he does not learn continuously “. Altman called the” generally intelligent “model but not act. Of course, the only official definition that Optai has for AG is not technical but monetary. Microsoft and Openai have agreed to define act as a system that can generate at least 100 billion Dollars of profits.

Of course, Benioff is not above the MEDIA MEDIATICS. In addition to claiming that one of his companies cultivated half of all the work at AI, he also used the pages of Time magazine – a publication he owns – to claim that AI would lead to “a revolution that will fundamentally redefine the functioning of humans, living and would connect to each other”. Now you will not believe it, but Salesforce sells AI agents. Benioff therefore certainly believes in the media threshing of AI for the products of his own business. It’s just everyone who can.
