I wonder if Danielle will discuss how Amazon's AGI research differs from OpenAI's approach? The human-computer interaction angle sounds promising, but I'm skeptical about AGI timelines. Hope they address ethical concerns too. 🤔
So Amazon is sending their HCI lead to talk about AGI? Sounds like a PR move to make us believe they're serious about human-centered AI while they probably just want more data to train their next Alexa bot 🤖. Hope she actually addresses the ethical elephant in the room instead of just demoing some flashy prototype.
