We recently published a list of 10 AI Stocks Turning Heads on Wall Street. In this article, we are going to take a look at where CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) stands against other AI stocks turning heads on Wall Street.
Artificial intelligence is advancing fast, but is it ready to replace humans? According to Google DeepMind CEO, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a reality.
Demis Hassabis believes that artificial general intelligence (AGI), a type of artificial intelligence which is as smart as or smarter than humans, will start to emerge in the next five or 10 years.
“I think today’s systems, they’re very passive, but there’s still a lot of things they can’t do. But I think over the next five to 10 years, a lot of those capabilities will start coming to the fore and we’ll start moving towards what we call artificial general intelligence”

According to Hassabis, AGI is “a system that’s able to exhibit all the complicated capabilities that humans can.”
“We’re not quite there yet. These systems are very impressive at certain things. But there are other things they can’t do yet, and we’ve still got quite a lot of research work to go before that.”
Meanwhile, Dario Amodei, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, told CNBC that he sees a form of AI that’s “better than almost all humans at almost all tasks” emerging in the “next two or three years.” Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, believes AGI could be reached sometime in the next four or five years.
Regardless of when it will arrive, an undisputed theory about AGI is that its arrival is imminent. This is because the continuous training of AI models using increasing amounts of computational power and data will inevitably lead to AGI. It is only but wise for policy makers and governments to be proactive regarding its arrival, so that it doesn’t lead to bad outcomes, such as human extinction.
“If governments act now, with determination, there is a chance that we will learn how to make AI systems safe before we learn how to make them so powerful that they become uncontrollable.” Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.
