The latest advances toward artificial general intelligence — non-domain specific autonomous systems delivering task performance beyond human capabilities — especially in the domain of large language models, provides us with glimpses of AI’s tremendous promise for the future. We believe Europe has to step up its game to secure access to technologies with such vast and profound transformational potential. We are impressed by the results Aleph Alpha has delivered to date. We believe Aleph Alpha has the right people and ambition to deliver generalizing AI models that are as innovative as their U.S. and Chinese counterparts.”
