Memia Webinar 16th May 2025: The New AGI Strategic Landscape
Memia's Ben Reid will discuss the evolving impacts of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI or “powerful AI”) on organisation strategy as the technology continues to accelerate forward at an incredible pace. Topics to be covered: The 2025 AGI landscape: what is "AGI" ... various definitions, positions, exponential acceleration of technology development. When, if ever, will "AGI" arrive? Cutting through the hype to build an empirical model. Automation impacts: how much cognitive work will AGI be able to automate? Robotic impacts: how much physical work will robots equipped with AGI be able to automate? What's left over for humans? Overview of centralised-vs-decentralised power models currently underpinning AGI theories How do governments approach regulation of AGI? Can they even hope to? Scenario modelling... how could this all play out? Impact on organisation strategy: how to start preparing now for an uncertain future. The webinar will be 1 hour long with 30 minutes of presentation and then an opportunity for open discussion among participants.
