IBC Conference: Warner Bros. Discovery’s Avi Saxena will take part in an IBC panel of CTOs investigating how best to extract value from the new and rapidly evolving tools of the trade.
As remarkable as it seems, AI is the most “underhyped” technology on the planet, according to Avi Saxena, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).
“AI is going to change our world, and artificial general intelligence (AGI) hasn't even knocked on our doors yet. When that happens, the world will be transformed in a way we’ve never seen before.”
AGI is defined as the hypothetical type of AI system which, in theory, could match or exceed the cognitive abilities of human beings.
“AGI will shape the world more than the impact of mobile and internet technologies combined,” Saxena says. “We should be prepared for that instead of trying to fight it.”
