EstoniAI Meetup Vol. 11: AGI: Beyond the Hype, Before the Storm
The world’s brightest minds - and probably AI itself - are racing toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—a technological shift that might rival the discovery of fire or the invention of language.
But behind every AGI headline lie more profound questions:
Are we already building it—piece by piece, prompt by prompt?
What if it is already here?
Will it love us?
Founderly and the Estonian Founders Society (Asutajate Selts) are joining forces to kick off the boldest AI meetup series in the region! From April, we plan to hold an event almost every month, bringing together builders, brains, and backers around what truly matters in AI.
At the first joint event, we plan to dive headfirst into the game-changing world of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
AGI isn’t just another buzzword. It’s the next frontier: AI with human-level cognitive abilities that could redefine how we live, work, and build. But where does the science end and the speculation begin? And what does it mean for Estonia’s founders, investors, and innovators?
