We recently published a list of 9 AI News and Ratings to Keep on Your Radar. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Zoom Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:ZM) stands against other AI news and ratings to keep on your radar.
Expanding Human Capabilities with AI
Leading AI developers are making artificial general intelligence (AGI) their primary goal, securing billions in funding to advance the technology, as per Bloomberg. AGI refers to AI systems capable of performing as well as or better than humans across most tasks, with the software industry expected to be the first to experience its transformative effects. Eiso Kant, co-founder of Poolside, spoke with Bloomberg’s Tom Mackenzie about AGI and the evolving AI landscape.
Kant noted that AI is already increasing software development efficiency by 20–30%, with over 100 million professional developers worldwide benefiting from these advancements. He envisions a future where AI fully matches human capabilities, significantly expanding the number of effective developers. Poolside focuses on serving large enterprises, such as those in defense and financial services, where most software developers work. Unlike general AI models designed for broad applications, Poolside develops highly specialized AI systems tailored for software engineering, integrating within enterprise environments with advanced infrastructure and security measures.
Kant discussed the timeline for AGI and estimated that by 2027, AI would reach human-level performance in most knowledge-based tasks, especially in software development. He compared the impact to dramatically increasing the global developer workforce, driving down costs, and accelerating technological progress. However, he cautioned that such rapid expansion could disrupt the job market, stressing the importance of a gradual rollout to avoid destabilizing the economy.
