What is the fundamental difference between statistical models and true human intelligence?
In this throwback episode of The Edge of AI Podcast, host Ron Levy sits down with Peter Voss, the pioneer, engineer, and scientist who actually coined the term AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) back in 2001.
Peter shares the origin story behind naming AGI to distinguish real "thinking machines" from single-use narrow AI systems. He breaks down DARPA’s "Three Waves of AI," explaining why current Large Language Models (LLMs) act as externalized statistical tools rather than fluid, real-time adaptive intelligences.
Discover Peter’s work with Aigo.ai, a proto-AGI engine built on Cognitive AI. Learn how his team successfully automated 3,000 call center agents during Valentine's Day rushes and why he believes true AGI requires cognitive metacognition, concept formation, and a fraction of the energy that modern LLMs consume
