Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) might be sooner than you think.
AGI is a type of artificial intelligence that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks. Unlike narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks, AGI can independently solve problems and make decisions. It's a machine with the ability to exhibit human-like intelligence.
Richard Ngo a researcher at OpenAI, suggests that by 2025, neural nets (which underpin tools like ChatGPT) will:
Have human-level situational awareness (understand that they're NNs, how their actions interface with the world, etc; see definition here)
Beat any human at writing down effective multi-step real-world plans. 
Do better than most peer reviewers
Autonomously design, code and distribute whole apps (but not the most complex ones)
Beat any human on any computer task a typical white-collar worker can do in 10 minutes
Write award-winning short stories and publishable 50k-word books
Generate coherent 5-min films (note: I originally said 20 minutes, and changed my mind, but have been going back and forth a bit after seeing some recent AI videos)
Pass the current version of the ARC autonomous replication evals (see section 2.9 of the GPT-4 system card; page 55). But they won't be able to self-exfiltrate from secure servers, or avoid detection if cloud providers try.
5% of adult Americans will report having had multiple romantic/sexual interactions with a chat AI, and 1% having had a strong emotional attachment to one.
We'll see clear examples of emergent cooperation: AIs given a complex task (e.g. write a 1000-line function) in a shared environment cooperate without any multi-agent training.

Apple restricts use of OpenAI's ChatGPT for employees.
Apple is concerned about the leak of confidential data by employees who use the AI programs and has also advised its employees not to use Microsoft-owned GitHub's Copilot, used to automate the writing of software code, the report said.
When people use these models, data is sent back to the developer to enable continued improvements, presenting the potential for an organization to unintentionally share proprietary or confidential information.
